Power steering, CV joint.. Like the dealer says it's hard to know
without hearing it. Do you have a camcorder or tape recorder that you can
have with you?

Try "full left" and "full right" turns at various speeds.
You can also turn the wheel full to the left then press a little further
(that will make the power steering pump hiss and is normal, just don't
do it for more than a second or two) Then try again to the right.

Re: A girlie Liberty question....................
 

I agree with Mark, get your brakes looked at.

As a test, try using the brakes when you have the trouble, and see if the
trouble changes, or use thebrakes when you don't have the trouble and see if
you can get it to start.

You have to figure out when the trouble comes on, then figure out a way to
cause it, then you can demonstrate it for the mechanic. It is especially
helpful if the trouble is noticable by the passenger, then you can ride
along and give instructions on how to cause it, and verify that your
instruction worked.
