2005 S60 D5 185 Sport Jerky Movement on Steering Lock

[gmain1967]

As per title, opinions on likely culprit (s) causing what can only be described as an uneven or jerky movement when steering is on full lock and when moving at low speed.

Happens in forward and reverse and car moves so far, then the wheels seem to "push" forward and outwards so progress is like a saw tooth motion and can be felt inside the car. It's almost like I had on an Impreza STI which had a plated rear diff which meant low speed on lock was similar to what the D5 is doing......

Does is only happen when moving or is it at a particular position of the steering wheel even when stationery with the engine running? It's a common fault of the power steering to 'pull' at certain positions on it's travel.

Could be as easy as.........lock stops on the wishbones need greasing, if they are still there!!.....
