Just installed a rebuilt steering rack on a 07 Silverado 1500.
The old rack was working, just worn tie rod ends and minor leaks, no internal mechanical failure.
Put the rebuilt unit on, cycled the wheel several times trying to get the air out, nothing happening, so cranked the engine for a quick start and stop, just to get fluid moving. Did that several times, turning the wheel with the engine off, getting as much air out as possible. Then started it and turned the wheel, it started shaking violently!
Shut it off, turned it back and forth a few times, the fluid was going up and down in the reservoir, so there is still some air in it. Let it sit, about an hour, started it up, all was quiet, no shaking.
The owner just called back, it's shaking again.
Anyone experienced this? I didn't have my vacuum pump, going to try vacuuming the air out Monday.
Do you think it's air or something wrong with the rebuild?
