Jumpy Steering?
When I turn the wheel at a full stop the wheels feel like they hop and the steering wheel shakes. I have PS and It bugs me like hell. It doesn't happen so much when I'm going at higher speeds. It usually only happens between 0 and 25 MPH.
Anyone?

at full lock only? Maybe ball joints or a loose tierod. Jackup the car and do a quick pull-test. Basicaly with the car jacked up and the wheels pointed straight, pull the tire perpendicular (towards your chest). It shouldn't move much, if at all-- should be solid. If it moves, you either need to repack/tighten your wheel bearing, OR your balljoint is going out.
Alternatively, it could be tie rods aren't in proper setting, a quick alignment at a shop will fix that.
And on a last note, on full lock, it could be a tire smacking a fenderwell.
