My Aerostar lately has been doing some weird things when going around corners. Whenever I'm going around a corner and I give the wheel a good turn the whole front end and the steering wheel start to shudder hard, and it sounds like the engine is being slightly bogged down. As soon as I finish though and straighten out it goes away immediately. Could this be the serpentine belt or the PS?

I'd check the belt first, then the fluid level and condition.

That sounds like a problem I had, which would shudder while I was turning the steering but not all the way through a turn. It was especially noticable in a parking lot -lots of steering input at low speed. It turned out thatthe rubber bushing holding the steering rack to the front frame were worn. This can be seen by having someone look under the front while the van is parked and the wheeel turned from side to side- the rack moves relative to the frame. I had them replaced by a shop as it didn't look like I could do this at home. It did solve the problem. Joel
