Alright I have a strange thing that happens w/my 95 gt. My steering is totally normal until I have to brake down to turn,stop, etc. then it seems i lose my power steering or the wheel wants to bind up. I end up having to crank hard on the steering wheel just to turn. After this steering becomes normal again as soon as I accelerate. Nobody seemed to have an idea what would cause this. I do have a bad rear abs sensor but this only started recently so I'm not sure. Maybe my power steering pump going bad? Any guesses?
Weird problem w/steering during braking

ABS Sensors shouldn't cause this. I had a bad ABS sensor and the ABS unit just shut down, as if I had no ABS. I know that a warmed brake rotor will make one side of the car pull one way or the other, and can cause a shake in the steering wheel. You say it becomes normal after accelerating - does it go back to normal after lifting your foot off the brake? If it's brake-related, it should. If it doesn't until you accelerate, you definitely have a steering issue. Could be something weird with the steering linkage that only pops up when you brake, which stresses the steering system.
