[QUOTE="Matthew Runals, post: 1003895, member: 67012"] Okay so thanks for all the help with the steering vibration. I think i got it but haven't been able to do a decent road test yet, and yes I think it was just a bad well balance issue. Of course the joys of ownership keep coming with this ST. I now have a chirping noise coming from the engine. My first thought is the serpentine belt is old, yet I have changed it about a year ago. The other issue is that when I drove through a rather large puddle I lost all steering and my check engine light came on. So my thought was the power steering pulley could be bad or the bearings are worn on the pump...IDK. I opened up the hood and I was able to pull the PS pulley in and out a little bit. I can not wobble the pulley at all, no left to right motion just front and back and only about a 1/4 of an inch...not much but a noticeable amount. So my question is how can you test to see if its the PS pulley, the bearings within the mount, or the actual PS pump? 05 ST, 137k miles, 2 wd [/QUOTE]
