Steering Wheel JerkingIMBUBBLES1979 07-08-2005, 11:47 AM I have a 2000 Accord EX. At first i noticed it only jerked when i was coming out of a turn, now it has progressed to jerking when ever i turn the steering wheel. It's not a shaking, it's almost like it is catching on something, but it does it all the time. Fluids are fine. Just looking for a little help here. Thanx jeffcoslacker 07-08-2005, 11:53 AM You mean like the power assist is dropping out and catching, something like that? Or the car is actually pulling? A worn seal or spool valve in the rack can cause power steering "dropouts" under demand, and a front hub bearing on a FWD car can seize momentarily and yank the steering in that direction, but that's very rare and shouldn't be occuring on a car that new. IMBUBBLES1979 07-18-2005, 04:46 PM Sorry, Took So Long To Get Back. If It The Rack Shouldn't It Be Leaking Power Steering Fluid? Also I Have Noticed When I Start It In The Morning The Power Steering Pump Squeels A Little Bit, But After About 2 Min That Stops. Is There Some Chance That It Is Just The Power Steering Pump?? jeffcoslacker 07-18-2005, 10:24 PM Sorry, Took So Long To Get Back. If It The Rack Shouldn't It Be Leaking Power Steering Fluid?

Since you say that, it sounds like the p/s belt might just be glazed, oil slicked, loose, etc. As far as the other question, not always. A rack can bleed pressure internally to the point it can't operate correctly without leaking externally, just like an auto tranny. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
