[Chevelle-list] Q: Jerky steering

[Pelle Andersson]

Nope!
I guess It's been there since I bought the car but I didn't notice it in the beginning
because the engine was idling quite high! Now when the carb is OK and
the engine is starting to act normal I've noticed this!
But it's also possible that the problem have popped up lately.

My guess is that it's the steering pump.
If it's the pump? Is it enough to buy a gasket kit to get rid of the problem or is it
something else (hard to fix) that's worn out or broken in the pump?

  Did it start after replacing the hoses?  Could have air in the system.

  The belt is new, the fluid is fresh and at a proper level, the hoses to/from the pump are new!

    You don't mention if you have power steering or not but low fluid or loose p/s belt can cause this if so equipped.

    Hi!

     

    The steering's a bit jerky at low rpm's, like when I'm parking the car!

    Something wrong or normal?

    The steering seems to be working fine but I can feel pulses/vibrations

    in the steering wheel & the wheels move a bit "nervous" when steering.

     

    Best regards
    Pelle
