Default 2WD Cosworth Power Steering

Evening,
Recently noticed that when the car is still and you turn the steering you feel a vibration/judder from the steering wheel.


Is seems to be fine when driving normal around town, but if you were to turn left or right from a stand still with little rev you get a judder.


Has anyone else had this issue before?


Thanks

I'd check the belt condition and tension and try changing the power steering fluid and see if that helps.
