Q: Steering becomes slack while making turns in either direction.

Hello. Thank you for writing in. There are several components that may cause the steering to be loose or jerky. The first thing to do is check the power steering fluid color and level. Make sure its clean and topped off. If it is low or burned, then you may have a leak or issue with the pump. The jerk you are feeling are sometimes caused by a bad sensor, and it may be worth your time to have the car scanned for diagnostic troubleshooting codes and make sure the computer hasn’t detected an issue. Give the steering box and linkage a full visual inspection. If the truck is lifted, the steering components are likely to wear out early and need to be replaced eventually. Do some进一步检查and take diagnosis from there.
