Just noticed that my Corsa has developed a juddering steering wheel.
Anyone care to hazard a guess as to what I should check for?
Is this a common problem?
Would the power steering fluid level cause this? Not that I've checked yet but could it cause this?
Any help appreciated.
Cheers

Woop, apologies for posting in the wrong section.
It happens through the entire rev/speed range.
Anyone know what type of fluid it takes incidently? Would it be visible on top of the reservoir like some cars?

Tracking
Balancing.
Hit any kerbs? Parts could be bent under there.
Check these, should be sorted.
First two can be done at most garages for under £20.

I've not hit any kerbs in the few days I've owned it and I didn't really notice it much on the test drive.
I'll get it balanced and report back.

It doesn't happen anymore under braking, but thanks for the replies guys.
Just the sort of responses that a noob hopes for.
