96 aurora steers hard when turning left. p/s fluid level OK. No noise from the pump either. Has anyone encountered this problem? Thanks in advance. Grayl in Phx

Possible causes:

1. Wheel alignment.
2. Binding tie rod end.
3. Binding ball joint.
4. Bad flow control valve in R&P assembly.
5. Some other internal problem in the R&P.

Thats a tough, one my neighbor came to me one day asking advice he had the same problem on his Buick Century. Hard turning one direction. But when he revved it up a little it would steer normally. It turned out to be the rack. Then again I've seen pumps doing weird things also. If it were mine I'd start with the rack.

I thought I read here somewhere about a TSB on the PS pump lines not letting enough pressure thru. I think there is a kit for this problem and something about reversing the lines.
Might be worth looking into.

I thought that was for noisy lines jj. I could be wrong . I recently experienced the noisy lines on a GM product and ordered the lines on the TSB and they were a real treat to install rerouting, looping ect.... but it worked !

Yeah, retro-fit kit was for low speed/RPM steering shudder also making droaning noises.
