^ You might have moved the knuckle (pushed/pulled tie rod end) with the engine off which got air into the power steering?

Drive it (or jack up both front wheels off the ground, and engine running) and make full turns of the steering wheel, stop to stop, left and right a few times to bleed the air out.
 






Latest: ...Now there's a shimmy/vibration in the steering wheel when turning in/out of parking spaces. Otherwise it rides fine. What happened?
Local NTB said to check the (front) lug nuts. I did. One was completely 'off' and rattling in the wheel cover! The other four were still tight? I loosened all ten front lugs, made sure the wheels were seated, then retorqued all ten. It solved the problem. [I'm still freaked that one lug nut completely came loose and was rattling in the wheel cap!]
 






I put 20¢ I in my buddy Chase's
Wheel cap was funny as hell
