Steering problems 97 Explorer....
Hey guys.... My explorer wouldnt start the other day, found out battery was dead, replaced battery and good to go. Problem is, when it was dead, I had to move it forward/backwards to get it in place to try jump-starting it and the parking lot where i was is very crooked so i was steering left and right a bunch while my friends were pushing me in and out of parking spots. Anyway...... now that I am driving it again, the steering is vibrating when i turn the wheel left and right while driving, as well as the steering seems a notch harder to move left and right. Did i goof up the power steering? The wheels vibrate along with the whole steering column when the truck is on and its in park, like when i have to back out of a parking space. Even when driving down the road at like 45mph it vibrates. What happened to it and what do i do to fix it? I sure hope i didnt jack anything up. Any by the way, that wheel sure is hard to steer when the whole truck is off, im glad i have power steering.

It happens a lot- mine dos it often- just do as mentioned above- take the cap of the fluid container and turn the stearing wheel lock to lock a few times slow (dont hold it on lock),and it will force the air out of the system...Mine does it a fair bit, begining to wonder if I should bleed it and replace the fluid- after all its 8 years old now!
