Default Bugeye steering problems

I'm after some advice please, when I'm moving slowly,for example out of a parking space the steering wheel judders when turning it right, I also have a noise from one of my belts , you know the sound, the type that screams and the neighbours hate at 2am.

Is this related or could it just be the fan belt etc needs tightening and is the steering issue a steering pump gone or steering belt etc

Any advice would be great
Cheers

Grant

Ok cheers, is it an easy job? You don't think it could be a power steering pump then?

real easy mate. 2 bolt is all it is. If you want to rule out the pump then remove the belt and rotate the pump pulley by hand. It should turn very free and smoothly and have no play in it.
