Steering chattering

Post by ytr1903 »

My 1989 635csi has been nearly flawless in the 10 years that I have owned it, but has recently exhibited "chattering" when turning the steering wheel. This is primarily evident when the car is just started in the morning, but I noticed that it is also barely doing it after the car warms up. I am sure that there must be a more appropriate description than chattering (maybe bumpy?), but that is the only word that comes to mind. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Tom

Have you tried to diagnose any obvious problems.
ATF level, leaks where air can cause cavitation,
does pump belt need adjusting?

Yes, those three issues were addressed. Sorry, I should have mentioned that in the initial post.
