Default Sterring Issue...

Well, just recently I have noticed that when I make a right turn, at one particular spot of the turn the steering wheel feels like it grabs just a bit and then continues on turning. I don't have to put a lot into the steer and it only happens when I am making a hard right, not a soft right (if that makes sense) and it seems to do it at slower speeds/deceling from a speed when the happens. This does not happen everytime.

My fluids are on the mark and I have no noise when this occurs, not any dripping from the steering rack.

Thanks in advance,

Micah

Update...when I had my tune tweaked, the steering situation has disappeared. When he installed his tunes I noticed that my steering wheel would twitch twice after the tune was uploaded and since this has occurred I have had no problems. I was getting ready to have it looked at!

Not sure why that would have made any difference. The only thing I can think of is it could have been some air in the power steering that just happened to bleed out while on the dyno.

Glad it's fixed, but don't be too surprised if it comes back.

Have a good one,
Mike

Mike, I won't. This tune was a street tune, I never had it on the DYNO during my tune. Seriously, the steering is great now and I am keeping my fingers crossed.
