Power steering shuddering. (not a n00b)
i have a 95 ex with powersteering. when i first got the car on the road the power steering worked great.
now at very low speeds (backing out of a parking spot for example) with just a little force when i turn the steering wheel it shakes and shudders alot and sounds like a rod knocking in the block until I let off. It does not have this problem and higher speeds, when the wheels are easier to move.
the fluid is at the right level. for now i removed the belt and it works as expected. There are no leaks in the system.
Any suggestions on what causing the problem?

Re: Power steering shuddering. (md88hfcrx)
Sounds like a power steering pressure switch our whatever its called. Next time your car is parked look at your RPM's and see if the drop as you turn the wheel if so your switch or the wiring to it is going bad. Its supposed to give you a little more RPM's so your car doesn't stall from the load.
