No power steering under braking...?
When I'm driving, and when I brake, sometimes my power steering seems to be off. It doesn't do it all the time, but most of the times. It seems to happen more when I brake harder as if I was taking a 90 degree turn. Anyone know what might be wrong? Thanks!!

Ya, it sounds like you have an air pocket in your PS system.

yeah, I would be thinking low power stering fluid as well, but it could be the power steering computer might be acting up and not turning back on when it should if this was a S4 or a Turbo.
