Default Power steering pump going bad??

My power steering works and there's no whining or anything but,when I'm parking and I go very slow with the wheel cocked all the way the wheel starts to stutter or shake?Is this a symptom for the power steering going out or is there maybe some trapped air in the line??

Thanks

Hmmmm my guess would be trapped air in the line. However, check your power steering fluid first. If some is missing fill it up and check for leaks.

Then turn the wheel all the way one side then turn all the way to the other side a few times to release possible air in the lines.

If problem still exists its not worth replacing the pump until it starts whining and giving u trouble turning the wheel. (It gets horrible during winter ><)
