Hi all.
I have 1993 Magna 2.6Ltr Thats a TS I think.

When just taking off and turning the steering wheel to the right or left a pulsing can be felt through the steering wheel.
At speed it operates as normal.

A new belt was fitted 3 months ago when the Alternator went.
Tension feels OK.

Has anybody experienced this and any suggestions as to the cause.
Could it be the pump itself or are these some valves of some type causing the problem.

Thanks
Bazza

Low fluid level, or air in the system. Top up if needed, then just drive it. Air comes out by itself. Could just be that you have a low idle speed, or the belt is slipping.

Mine does the same, as well at it catches here and there when cold. I haven't inspected belts but since my steering fluid is a lovely tar black color Id say the seals inside the fluid pump are toast.
