Check the fluid level, then check the lines and make sure there are no leaks.
a binding U-joint can can that erratic "grabby" feeling too, try to lube it up.

Also ensure that the belt is correctly tensioned.

perhpas you mean balljoint or CV joint? front wheel drive cars dont have U joints.


it sounds like air in the lines due to low fluid level. to purge air, fill the resivor, leave the cap off, turn the wheel lock to lock several times, then check the fluid level again and add as needed. do this until it feels normal again.

ah ok. ive always called that the rag joint or some other name, infact newer cars use CV style joints there.
