Power Steering Judder When Cold

[craigcaf]

The power steering is a bit juddery whenfirst starting my T350 and putting on full lock to drive out of the parking space. Only just noticed this with the weather freezing overnight. It's fine when warm. Am assuming it's the hydraulic fluid being a bit more viscous. Anyone else found this? Or know anything else that can cause this?

Mines just the same - common as far as I know. Only when cold and when on full lock.

Yeah that's the same then.

I always put it down to the tyres "skipping" against the road surface when cold

Summer tyres get much harder when the temperature drops down around freezing so you can feel the tread blocks when on full lock.
