Steering wheel vibration while standing still 200 1993

This may be an odd one - with the car standing still, brakes applied, turning the steering wheel causes the front wheels to vibrate violently.

This actually happened with my mechanic at the wheel driving the car out of the garage after routine maintenance.

He took it back in, and put it on the lift. It only happens with the tires on the ground and the brakes applied.

The shop mechanic said the rack is firmly attached, so it's not that. It's almost as if there's a flapping valve in the hydraulic line, but what do I know?

They were stumped for the moment, and as it was after 5:00 the day before Thanksgiving, I left the car there for them to look at over the weekend or on Monday.

My mechanic thinks it may be some bronze bushings at each end of the rack (if I recall what he said correctly). Does that make any sense?

Has anyone seen anything like this, or better yet have any idea what is causing it?
