turn steering wheel left slight pulsating

Going straight no pulsating in steering wheel. Turn slightly right no pulsating. Turn slightly left steering wheel pulsates (best way to describe it) slight vibration.

Had replaced left axle, both rotors and brakes, new tires. Both fronts 30psi. No noise from wheel bearing.

Any insights?

Thanks Madness

New tires. No wear on either side, no pull, steering wheel straight. Bought the car used. I would assume if alignment was off would drift to one side and at high speeds steering vibrate. Neither of these occur.

Your tire pressure is about 4 psi lower than most run
The new axle may have a problem

I would do a drain and fill on the power steering pump and system- could be old crud in a small hole messing things up- its simple- search here for DIY

Problem existed before the axle was replaced. I replaced axle because boot was really torn.

The power steering I'll definitely read the post on this. The manual said 30psi but tires looked low at 30psi. I'll go to 34psi.

Have you checked the driver's side control arm & tie rods? When I had mine replaced, something was loose that was causing a similar problem.

^ +1.

Off topic but, 01tl4tl, since you own controlling stock of Seafoam, why in the hell did you guys change your formula? Also, I Seafoamed my C35 that had between 50-70K miles, NO SMOKE. .

~Cheers~
