No bubbles. I've changed the fluid. Spraying the U-joint is a good idea I'll try. Thanks for the input, all!

the belt is good. I'll try changing the fluid. Any other ideas out there?

1999 Legacy Wagon steering is jerky when turning, even at complete stop. First noticed at low parking lot speeds and tight turns, but now starting to notice occasionally at higher speeds. Power steering fluid level OK. Hoping it's not my steering gear. How would I know if that's the problem? Has anyone else run across this? Appreciate any help.
