Chaps
I’m wondering if anyone may have experienced an issue with the power steering. I jumped into the car yesterday as normal and the steering felt unusually heavy, at slower speeds it feels like I have a flat, at higher speeds it feels like the tracking is wildly out and at 50mph it vibrates through the wheel a little. I can’t put my finger on it and it was fine when I parked it the night before. There’s no squeaks or rattles, the pulleys and belts are nice and tight, there’s plenty of ps fluid I’m stumped!
I would have said C.V. joint but it isn’t vibrating all the time..
Anyone know where I might start? www.southeast4x4response.org.uk Responder of 9 years service SE140

I would jack the front up and look for play in arm bushes, track rods, wheel bearings etc.
Does it have PS fluid in reservoir? Joined the BMWX5 45e group
