But I was told again that it was not the column but the Steering Rack.
There is a bunch of discussion over sticky/notchy steering and the steering column. Here's a few:

That being said with this kind of mileage your mechanic could be dead on. If it bothers you then you need to try something. Easiest, cheapest first. That's probably the steering rack. If you are mech inclined its just parts and sweat. Probably don't need to tell you this will require an alignment when through.

Good Luck
