Steering Vibration During Low Speed Maneuvers

SITUATION:
STEERING WHEEL / VEHICLE VIBRATION
When the steering wheel is turned sharply to the left-hand or right-hand the customer may complain of a vibrating sensation through the steering system or in the body of the vehicle. The vibration may be evident in the vehicle cabin under the following conditions:
