Steering Wheel Shakes after getting Power Steering serviced

[eClipse Grindin]

Just like the title says, I got my Power Sterring serviced and they changed the fuild. Now, when I turn the steering wheel it shakes when the car is moving. When the car isn't moving it has little to no shaking. What could be the problem? Did they not get all the air out? Thanks.

most likely it is just air in the system. to find out you can look in your pump reservoir. if there are bubbles or foam (of course) or if the fluid looks shiny or has a metallic look to it, you have air in it.

to bleed the system:

1. Let the car sit with the engine off so that the fluid can settle down.
2. After letting it settle down, start the engine and slowly turn the steering in either direction till you get almost to the stops and then go the opposite direction to the stop and then bring it back to center.
3. Check your fluid in the reservoir for air again and make sure that the fluid is at the proper level (as air leaves the system the fluid level will drop)

Repeat these steps as many times as necessary.

If you continue to have air entering the system, it is most likely entering on the return (or low side) of the system. Check the return hose to see if it has dry rot or any cracks, and make sure the clamps that hold the return hose on are sealing properly.

Hope this helps
