Dannomanno Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I have had a really bad side to side shake in my 83 gl wagon's steering. Recently the bearing on the power steering tensioner pulley went out and I had to drive it home with the belt off, the woble went away and the steering was perfectly smooth. I got the new bearing in and hooked up the belt and the woble is back with vengence. Could this be the steering rack? and also is there a non power steerin unit that I can hook up? thanks guys.

nipper Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 It sounds more like the pump. The pulsation is matching the rotation of the pump. There is probably a bad gear in the pump. A rack would be stiff when cold when trying to turn the wheel (and I mean winter cold) or binding. It wouldnt be pulsing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
