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

 a pump with air just whines/screams. this sounds alot more like a rack problem. its all quiet but the rack is flipping out? might have somehow damaged a seal in the rack or a valve could have gone to poop.
