Bendix Power Assist HELP
1971 ford f250 with bendix power assist
new power steering control valve
new PS fluid, bled
the front tires shudder pretty violently when rotating the tires at stop/slow speeds.
in addition to that the return line (picture) vibrates and shakes anytime I rotate the steering wheel.
anybody know what might be causing this?

And does it do it in all positions, or just while turning?
Just wondering if frozen up axle joints could be compounding a problem that you have with the power steering.
Generally I agree with the others that the steering system you have is a problem waiting to happen. But yours looks reasonably new and leak free, other than all the hoses looking pretty ragged.
The lines up to the cooler look pretty new, but everything down at the control valve except for one look like they’ve been there for a long time.
How extensive is your other discussion?
Usually better to continue one, rather than start over.
good luck
