power steering bad vibration
hi all
well over the last few weeks when driving my car has serious vibration when steering wheel is turned even coming out of a junction then sometimes just pulling on to the drive when steering wheel is turned slightly . do you think the problem is ATF wants changing or is it something worse i got the front end of the ground today with engine running i turned steering wheel full lock both ways and the problem was there while the engine was running i gave one of the wheels bit of a kick and it stopped .but started again on test drive it seems to do it if i go over uneven surface too . no oil leaks . any help please |

Sounds like either a steering rack or pump issue. Hard to diagnose online, maybe someone else will chime in.

It sound like there is air in the line . If there is air in the power steering system it will vibrate . Much like break lines the system needs to be bled . If this doesn't correct it then there must be something else wrong with the system. I just sent my ZF rack off and had it rebuilt .

hi smokeyja
how do you bleed your power steering is it just by disconnecting the upper hose on the top up tank ? |

I will get back with you this evening on that. I will be having to do the same thing on my 86 245 when I put the rack back in .

I would say you have a bad pump, if you ran the pump for a long time low you more than likely burnt the seals out of the pump and should have it replaced.
