Jerky steering

[jman69]

Hey, my brother drives a Statesman. Lately he has been experiencing ''jerky''steering while turning. It has had a new steering rack, struts and power steering pump but it still has a problem. Anyone got any ideas??? I know it's not a Patrol and he probably deserves it but what else can it be?

Sounds like the system hasn't been bled properly. I remember with my old Panelvan having the same issue and as soon as I got all the air out it was good.

This work was done by a Holden dealer so you would hope that they bled the system?? But you never know, ill run that by him tomorrow, and thanks. Update, it seems that a bolt was rubbing on his three inch exhaust system. All good now.
