Has anyone else had a problem of the steering wheel and tires shaking so badly that you can't even focus on the tire because it's moving so violently from left to right? I had just replaced the front wheel bearings, and while the truck was on jacks I turned the steering to make it easier to reach the bolts for the caliper. I did NOT start the engine when turning the steering. After I restarted the truck, it was very hard to turn the steering wheel. ALSO, if I turn the steering wheel and hold it about 90 degrees and steady, the pump sounds like a machine gun and the front wheels shake violently. I asked my cousin whos an ASE Master and mainly a chevy guy, but he told me that explorers are notorious for doing that if you turn the steering wheel with the engine not running. It is airbound. Now to cure it I believe I just need to turn it stop to stop a few times and let it sit overnight.
