Default Powersteering Pulsing

Well I now have a new problem.. When i am turning corners (like driveways, or sharp corners). The powersteering pulses and the pulses are rythmic.. I jus wanted some opinions because ps pumps are expensive.

I had the pulsing you are describing. I was also afraid it was a power steering pump or worse. Took it in for a squeak as well (bad u-joint) and they discovered that the ball joints were going bad.

Replaced them and u-joints, and all is well now.

EDIT: Oh, almost forgot. If you don't do the job yourself, parts + labor + tax will run you about $750 for front ball joints. On the good side though, mine came with lifetime warranties.
