My wife tells me that she has noted occasionally that the steering on our '98 V70AWD, 61K miles, has felt like it "stops and then starts", or "jerks" when turning into a parking lot. It was easily felt by her as well as a passenger. She can tell me no more. I think I will drive the car for awhile now and see if I can feel the same thing. Any ideas on the common causes of this? How about the bevel gear issue? Steering rack? The power steering pump? I just replaced the serpentine belt a month ago. The steering stops are greased regularly and this problem doesn't seem to happen at the extremes of steering range.
