Hi could do with a bit of advice. steering is hit and miss over the last few weeks, every now and then steering wheel shakes as if balancing is out but this can be at any speed, also feels like the car will try and pull itself one way or the other, checked the fluid on power steering and was a little low but still on the lower mark of the dipstick had it jacked up and all seems tight any ideas would be great cheers

Have you checked to see if any of the wheels are buckled? Also trackrod ends for any play in the ball joints.

Gavscooby1

Track rod ends seem fine and don't think its the wheels as its not all the time

Matt23

That's what I thought about mine, as mine only did it above 60, found 2 wheels were buckled.

Gavscooby1

mine can do it as low as 20-30mph and is intermitant

Matt23

Might need the geo checked mate.

Gavscooby1

might do just with it being intermittent it is puzzling me. Does it sound like the pump on its way out or just needing new fluid.

Matt23

Is the pump making any funny noises if you turn the steering from lock to lock when the car is stationary?

Gavscooby1

yes pump seems to whine a little when turned to full lock but that's the only time it makes a noise

Matt23

To be honest I can't see it being the pump, but if you have a local garage close to you it might be worth getting them to have a look at it just to be sure.

Cheers mat will do

just taken it out when you accelerate the is no problem but as soon as you come off the accelerator to a level off or brake steering wheel is all over and noise of something rubbing/cluncking on the front passenger side wheel area any ideas anyone.

You need to get under there with axel stands and wheel off and have a really GOOD look.
