Though impressed with this trucks handling in generalI'm noticing a small "hiccup" in the steering.When I set the wheel into a turn, sometimes (not every turn)it "gives way" slightly like maybe the PS piston gives way slightly.

Of course I'm just WAGing as I don't know how it even works.But, I doubt this is by design.

The vehicle is uneffected in the turnthat is to say the wheels and turning radius are uneffected.its just a litte disconcerting and I suspect forwarns future problems.

All comments and advise appreciated.

Hey Cliff!

Sounds like a bubble somewhere in the system - Top off your PSF, while sawing the wheel back and forth from lock to lock.

Careful, it might "bloop", so have some towels handy.
