I just finished replacing the rack and pinion, power steering cooler, power steering pump, and both hoses/lines on my 96 Explorer Sport 4.0L. I added fluid to the pump and then worked the steering wheel back and forth with the resevoir cap off to try and get all the air out. I also have done this while the engine is running. Both while it was cold and once it hard warmed up. I have turned the wheels from lock to lock for about 20 minutes and still have air shaking the wheel. Its not very noticeable when the engine is off or when I turn the wheel very slowly. When i turn the wheel at normal speed or faster is when its very noticable.
I have checked all the lines and dont see any leaks. Anyone have any suggestions on how to remove the air better? I am thinking about getting a vacuum setup to see if that might speed the process up.
