Power steering vibration...

[dvto2]

I am noticing vibration when i make a slow sharp turn. Im thinking it's something to do with the power steering. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Could be a few things.

- Front Top Mount Bearings

- Outer tie rod ends

- Front axles

- Differential(s)

- Tires

- Power Steering

 

Does it do it in one direction more than another? Check the P/S fluid too should be a nice red.

When the car is warmed at a stop turn it lock to lock and see if it still vibrates.

Any update on this with yours? I'm having similar problem with mine.

Yes. I started with the simplest thing first and changed the power steering fluid (which is dextron 3 transmission fluid). I bought a fluid extractor for $15, and sucked out the reservoir and refilled it about 4 or 5 times. It took about a quart of fluid. The vibration lessened each time I filled it until the last fill when i could no longer detect it. Easy peasy. Edited December 16, 2018 by dvto2

Great information, I'll give that a try.
