Do you guys have any idea what would cause the front wheels to judder when turning? It seems worst when the car is not moving or barely moving. When I turn he wheel and the power steering begins to work the front wheels do kind a juddering dance. I have had a mechanic take a look at it but since all of the parts are pretty new, he is not sure what it could be. He replaced the idler arm with no effect. Any ideas would be very welcome...

Dar1,
Did you recently replace your power steering hoses? Or have any work done on the system?

My only experience with what is described was caused by the PS pump and/or air in the pressure hose.
When purging the PS system, I jacked the front wheels off the ground. Ran engine, and cycled the steering wheel from one extreme to the other. This eventually cycled the air out of the system, and the jitter was cured.

Could also be poor seals in the control valve allowing leakage... new may not mean working correctly, have seen many new PS pumps fail to work as many are really remans.
Sorry for the long time between responses - I was away just after I asked my question...
The steering system worked fine when the car arrived in Sweden. Unfortunately, the authorities in Sweden thought the car had too much horsepower and did allow it to be registered for road use. The car sat for a year while I found someone to help me navigatate the registration process. During that year the judder developed. i will try to ensure there is no air in the lines as that sounds very likley after a year.....
