    Were you low on gas?


    I recall a few times in the past I drove 2 of my cars out of gas and I experienced some jerks kinda like that.

    If everything in the tranny looks good then it could be a issue with combustion, sounds like the engine could be jumping combustion which could possibly cause a stall/burst effect and lead to the cause of a jerk in the steering. But that is just a guess. Does the engine sound normal when that jerking happens? Notice any change in exhaust pitch? Or is it all strictly in the steering?

    i think if it were in the drivetrain it would continue straight rather that jerk one way.
