If at low revs, tired pas pump.

Or dodgy servo tonic relay, should be able to confirm via tech 2

Or possibly top shock mounts, on re reading.

I had similar problem, posted about i there a while ago, there was kind of blind spot when turning and in a certain spot/direction. I changed strut top bearings and wishbones (new lower ball joints) and problem solved  :y

Some late F/L`s have it up behind cabin fusebox, most are behind passenger kickpanel at the top
