if the correct steering box was installed and you have a shudder afterwards then it sounds like you still have air in the system. to bleed the air out you have to start the car and turn the steering wheel all the way left to the stop and then all the way to the right to the stop. repeat and check the power steering fluid level when the foamy fluid goes away. you don`t say why you changed the box, was it due to a different problem or was it doing the same thing.
This sounds like a bad valve in the rack and pinon. I just had a simalar problem on a Mitsubishi .. I replaced the rack with a A1 Cardone rebuilt rack and it cured the problem.. Rebuilding a rack is a job better left to the pro rebuilders.. you can call the teck line for A1 cardone and ask them what they think.
When in the position that the shudder occurs check underneath to see if the steerin has hit the full turn bolt or is still a bit to go as it sounds as if the steering has run out of travel and the pump is still trying to turn the wheels further. There will be a bolt on either suspension arm that limits the amount of turn left or right. Any way with the low milage I would be taking it back to the dealer and having them fix it (under warranty)as steering problems are critical for safety.
Possibly, but it could also be a worn bearing in the transaxle, which should be checked first, such as the outboard bearing that supports the inner CV Joint. Either or both sides could be at fault, or it could be the inner joint as well. Usually an inner joint will make a clunk sound that you may also feel through the steering wheel if you hit a bump going down the road straight. If worn enough, you might even hear it when bouncing the corner of the car at a standstill.
Grab the inner joint and check for latteral or up and down play. If you can hear it, but not see it move, the transaxle is likely okay. If you see an oil leak, that may be your suspect. If the transaxle bearings are okay,
This is probably due to worn ball joints. If you hear it especially when turning into a parking spot or at a standstill, this is usually worn ball joints. Let me know what else I can do for you.
YOU should find that if you let off the turn a bit and not turn on hard full lock,, now do this stopped and someone sitting in the drivers seat and bonnet open and turning the steering wheel with engine running in idle
if the noise goes and the shuddering goes then its the powered steering pump is either low in fluid or airrating or if belt driven then see if belt is trying to stop on full lock and if it is then try a new belt or other wise its the pump faulty.
you could have air in the system. first try an fill the resevoir to a proper level then with engine running turn steering wheel all the way to the left until it squeals, then to the right till it squeals. repeat this several times if this doesn't cure the problem change the pump only I seriously don't that the gearbox is bad. please rate this
