Trapped air in the power steering system. Turn wheel full left then right lock to lock several times to work out any trapped air.

I second that. When my sport trac was picked up and towed and moved around a lot while not running, the steering was used a lot. When it was finally started and running, i drove it home and the wheel vibrated badly on turns and became a full on death wobble at higher speeds. I thought there was major damage to the front end. Upon looking up things on the internet I found out about this trapped air thing. I started the truck and turned the wheel lock to lock 10 times. Problem solved, steering was now smooth as new. Its amazing what a little trapped air can do.
