Default Car Shakes when wheel turned to full lock

When i pull into my garage i need to go full lock to the left and then to the right to reverse and then i can pull it, but when i go into full lock on the wheel it shakes at some point of me pulling in, and usually after i turn it feels like one of the wheels is loose, but then comes back to normal after a few feet, but i can feel the shaking after turning. My car is not lowered or anything, completely stock, anyone experienced this before?

is that also the reason why it feels like one of the wheels are wobbling after taking a turn?

Get the car up in the air or take it to a shop if you can't lift it up yourself. Have them shake down the front end. Check the tie rod ends,ball joints,and the steering rack bushings. If they are worn out or dryrotted that should be the more possible cause of your issue. Check it out and see if there are any of issues and then see whats sup.

If it is doing while you are barely rolling or even not rolling..... just sitting there then it is the pressure regulator on the PS pump. It adjusts the pressure of the steering rack under certain RPM to allow more or less pressure for easier steering. It's expensive as HELL so I hope this is not your condition.

I have a DIY on here for how to completely remove the pressure regulator and run full pressure the whole time. Mines been like that now for a few years and no issues to report as a result of the mod..... and steering is a one finger operation at any speed, including stand still.
