steering vibration

[geordie john]

hi lads
been noticing for a couple of weeks now i am getting a vibration through the steering wheel when i am turning and it seems a little bit harder to turn than it used to be, i am thinking pump or rack anyone had these symptons before, if so what did you change first.

check the power steering fluid and also make sure the belt is tight

Power steering belts (can't remember if a turd gen has them) are loose or the fluid level is low.

did you pull the gattors off where they meet the tie rods? if the seals have gone then the fluid may be in the gattors............i think.

Your details say 2nd gen. No rack on 2nd gen.

3rd gen, nice rack
