Default Slight shake/vibration when turning

I noticed yesterday that when I turn into a car spot and turn the wheel slightly the car shakes/vibrates. It probably shakes for a second or two. Ive also noticed that when I'm stopped at a light occasionally it would shake/vibrate as well.

Anyone have any ideas on what could cause this?

Cheers

Posted by Xcabbi, Does it slap or rattle? Rattle is more to do with timing chains and tensioners. Slap is more to do with lifters, rings, bearings or GENIII boat anchors

How many revs are you doing at the time?
With a dirty ISC/Throttle Body you will notice a dip in revs when slowing down or turning at low/no speed
I don't believe you're meaning rack rattle.

Ill double check the revs.

Not sure what rack rattle is.

Rack Rattle is not common in falcons, it's more usually a commodore thing
its where you dry-steer and you get the front end jumping about slightly
hard to describe

Just came back from a drive. When in P revs were at 800. When idling in D it was at 600 and when it vibrated as I parked it dropped to 400 for a second then back to 600.

Possible vacuum leak?

BTW are those revs above in P and D normal?
