    Default lower steering balljoints?

    just a quick question, when in full lock from a standing start when i accellerate (parking etc), my steering shudders violently.

    i am thinking lower balljoints need attn. am i on the right track?

    you should check all of the front suspension ball joints, strut tops, swaybar bushes etc... and another cause low power steering pressure/fluid, worn belt, loose steering rack, worn or loose wheel bearings and bold or uneven front tyres.
