Only when you turn the wheel....

Could it be the power steering pump (which we just replaced)
Bad fluid (which goodyear just put in)?
Stabilizer link bars (which were just replaced in front)?

Or any other suggestions?!?!


2000 Ford Explorer xlt
v6 4.0
its a 2 wheel
The belt is tight, fluid full, and turned the wheel back and forth for a couple minutes after we put in the new power steering pump earlier tonight

what about power steering unit?
 
I would check your power steering pump, how many miles have you driven since it was replaced, you might need to sit in place and steer the truck left and right for a few minutes....this helps bleed any air out of the system, also check your power steering fluid level. Good luck! With the car in park, give it gas (about 2000 RPM) and steer the car, if the shudder goes away then you could have gotten a defective pump.......why did you replace the pump in the first place?
