760gle 1989 steering problem 700

hi,for some reason when im in drive but not moving,if i turn my steering wheel to the left and only to the left sometimes the whole car starts vibrating.If i do the same in neutral or park,no problem.i tried on drive while giving some throttle and holding the brake to see if it would make a difference but it didnt change anything.checked my fluid level and its fine.anyone have any idea what this might be.

760gle 1989 steering problem 700

Have a look at the mounts for the power steering pump. Give it a good firm shake while the engine is not running. See if the rubber mount bushings have collapsed. Check belt tension.
Also, check the crank pulley for failure- a timing light might help with this. The outer rim of the harmonic balancer can separate from the inner part and slip erratically, and so would make all the accessories slow down as well.
