Default Steering weirdness...

While manuevering in a parking lot this weekend, I felt the steering while going opposite lock to lock, in the transition, it was really easy to turn (like it was loose), then it felt like it was actually turning. Anyone else have this symptom. It was at idle, so maybe it was the PS pump temporarily under its normal load pressure. My PS fluid is still probably old so maybe it is due to the viscosity break down?

Default When was the last time you flushed the fluid?

Could it be possible that there is a good amt of dirt in there??

Mine was horrible looking when i flushed it

Default I never have ( I know....shame, shame). I am getting some slight PS pump whining under steering

input as of late. I am thinking that it is the fluid. I'm going to do it this week.
