1992 - 240 Steering

Bill,
Are you there:-) When I turn the steering wheel quickly to one side or the other I get a vibration in the wheel....at a stand still or in motion. If I turn slowly I feel much less of a vibration. Seems like it must be something to do with the power assist.
I've checked the fluid level and the drive belt seems tight. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark

When you checked the fluid level was the engine hot or cold and switched off?

Bill,
I checked with the motor cold and shut down. If I remember right the level was about in the middle of the 2 markers. I can recheck if you think it's important to be extremely accurate.

There is no need to recheck as you did it the correct way. Some people check it hot thus getting a false reading.

I am a firm believer in keeping the steering fluid right up to the 'full' mark. A loss of fluid may indicate a leak.

Try topping it up, making sure you don't overfill, and see if it makes any difference.
