Steeling wheel

Describe your problem...My 1989 BMW 850 has a very interesting problem. When car starts from cool to drive, the steeling wheel will stick and vibrate like earthquake. After a few seconds, the vibration will be gone and the car is back to normal. Do you have any suggestion for this problem?Thanks

Sounds like the tensioner for the power steering pump belt might be part of the problem or perhaps there is some damage to the steering gear.
