4th Generation Cold Steering

Hey guys im new to this forum and i will like to say i really like it. I found the diy's to be extremly helpful. But i have a question every time it's cold out side the steering seem a little rough almost as if it pulsates when i turn. but once it warms up it good.

It's most likely the power steering fluid requiring some time to warm up. Let the car idle for a minute or two prior to moving it for all fluids to warm up a bit.

Check levels of your power steering and see when the last time it was flushed.

or moisture in the fluid from condensation as it warms...

to get rid of this reliably swap the fluid..

if your ok with letting int warm first...then let it warm up first....it takes a few years befor the condensation moisture builds up to enough volume that it begins to affect the fluid in the cold
