Ok so i go to turn the car to go out the driveway today....as soon as i turn the steering wheel, the thing started wobbline back and forth like a bastard! Both steering wheel and front wheels are doing it!
Anyone know WTF is wrong? And yes the lines are hooked up correctly as far as we can see. Also the belt is tight.

Sometimes if you have air in the hydraulic lines you will get feedback like this. Try bleeding the system, the pump should do this automatically so check the oil level again.

we seem to think it might be restriction in the high pressure line when they made the new one for us...so we have drilled it out...wait n see tommorow if it does the same thing or not...

Make sure the belt is tight enough... mine is doing this atm because I didn't tighten the belt enough, I can hear it slip.

if the wheel goes left anf right violently back and forth it means u have the power steering hoses on wrong at the rack/steerign box
there are the 2 metal lines that goto the rack
swap them round
u have the pressure goin into the return
