What do you mean bouncing, is the power steering coming "on" and "off"

Slipping belt ?

say im pulling away from stand still will turning, the only way i can describe it is its slightly jumping in the steering like i can feel it and also when the full lock is on its the same its sorta bounces, makes a screeching noise, iv got a mechanic looking at it this week for free as a favor but was wondering if anyone else has had this problem

Defiantly sounds like a loose belt

cheers man thanks for the hemp was beginning to anoy me people were looking at me like wtf is that haha but yh really thanks.

You can get a new belt for a few quid at halfords.

I'am sure your mate can stick a new one on for you

happy days if its only that then will get it done asap, at least its passed its mot for another year got 3 advisories. play in the steering rack which i think is what the mot test thought it was, oil leak and play in a bearing

[Alex]

Could be more involved then but screeching and loss of pas will give the steering wheel a "boucing" effect as you say due to the pump stopping when the belt is slipping

yh i think youve hit the nail on the head hopefully its just that
