Hello All,
A quick question, I hope an easy one for all of y'all. . .
04 Caravan, swb, 3.3, 190,000 km.
I had the drive shaft seal replaced today. It was leaking. Only drove the van a bit because I got it back so late in the day.
Now when I make sharp left turns there is a vibration that is felt up through the pedals and the steering wheel. What can that be from. It feels a little like when they didn't bleed the power steering fluid properly when they changed the rack and pinion many years ago.
Is there air in there somewhere? Is it possible some air got into the power steering?
Is this something I should rush back to the mechanic? I'm concerned that perhaps the shaft was damaged or installed incorrectly and that I'm damaging the van by driving.
OH, one more thing. With the van in park I turned the wheel all the way to the right - no vibration. Then all the way to the left and when I reached almost the end of the turn it started to vibrate.
Thanks in advance for the advice.
