Ok, I changed the pressure hose, gave it fluid turned the car on and when I began to turn the wheel, the steering wheel suddenly began to jerk side to side like if it were possessed. What else do I need to do? I thought if I had the car off and turned the wheel lock to lock, it would bleed out, and that didn't work. Then I tried with the car on and that didn't work... I know I am missing something, and figured maybe any experience in this before on another car would also help.
I tried to look for this information online, but found nothing. -------------------- 91 MR2 Turbo SW20, 92 MR2 Turbo SW20, 95 Celica GT ST204

its moving itself or it just moving very jerkily? air trapped in the rack is my bet, just keep working it or drive it some.

Like it looks all innocent just sitting there when you turn the car on... Then you go to turn it and BAM! Possessed! I was like "WTF?! HELP! I need an old priest and a young priest!"... Seriously... I got some tips, I guess I just need to work the steering wheel more with the cap off to bleed the air out. But if you didn't know that, turning the wheel of the car with it on the ground and not a jack seems like pointless effort (unless you want a good work out).
