hi Guys,
well as some of you may know i got all my bushes and stuff done lately and i also got the high pressure hose in my power steering replaced as it was leaking.
Anyways - now on occasion when im turning (usually at speeds above say 25km/hr) my steering seems to pulse and it feels like the power steering is playing up.
Problem is, ive never had the drama before and when they did my new hose they put all new fluids in.
Does anybody have any tips on how to combat this problem ?

James Had the same problem..25ks pull wheel a little to left or right and it pulses (in time with wheel?)...changed wheels front to back ..gone just a wheel balance. DR

James was it a OEM hose or aftermarket? OEM hoses have some sort of device in them that dampens out any vibration whilst anything that is not genuine does not. I had mine replaced a while ago with and aftermarket one and there is a slight vibration but hardly noticeable.

Dave - I pretty sure its not a wheel balance issue and generally those seem to be evident everytime you drive. My problem is more intermittant (spelling?)
Robin - wouldnt be an OEM one, one of those dudes who comes out in his hose van did the job for me. so could be that....
* I have not had the problem for a couple of days now, but im sure it will come back, when it does ill try and remember what exactly i was doing and post up some more info,
Thanks for your help guys, does anybody else have any tips ? (i realise my description of the problem is a little weird)

Hi Dave,
Yes is happens sometimes when im driving, but it has also happened when im simply manovering my car at very low speed so thats why i would doubt a wheel balance issue....
HMMMMMM - it certainly IS a mystery.
Problem is IF and when i take it to a mechanic or steering specialist its murphy's law that the problem will not arise.
