i had a death wobble, much worse then just a shimmy or shake.
I had a pretty good leak of steering fluid too
I threw in lucas fluid as needed to refill it and it stopped leaking
I had to flush it and put normal fluid in it for the winter though as it got too thick.
flushing is easy, remove your resivior and clog the lines.
wash out the resivior and let it dry for several hours (looking for no water or soap)
hook up the feed line and clog the return bung
extend the return line into a jug
run 2-3 quarts through the system or untill it runs out clean
hook the return back up and secure the resivior
work out any bubbles
