Stutter when turning the wheel

[T4Rscott]

Hey all,

When my 4R is cold, and I turn the wheel at idle, or just off idle, it feels like it has a stutter.

Belt seems tight, so, could it be the screen in the bottom is clogged? If so, would it hurt anything to use a vacuum to remove the liquid and maybe suck up some of the crud?

Flush out the power steering fluid for a fresh batch. Its an overlooked maintenance point.

There is also a screen inside the resevor that can get clogged Tim has a Video on how to clean it.:car:
