Re: When turning wheel it vibrates could it be power...
It is possible that it is the pump, but if the power steering fluid level is ok and this is happening it is more than likely the power steering rack (steering gear).

Inspect the source of leakage. (Power steering pump,
clamps, discharge or high pressure pipe, suction or low side pipe, rack and pinion assembly).
- Vibrating while braking means the front wheel brake rotors are warped or rear brake drums are eccentric. (Tooling is required)
OK... You see it under the car, right? Go in the engine and under it to wipe splashed power steering fluid off the surfaces. Next, put white paper towels under the areas of the engine below where the power stearing pump and hoses are. Run the vehicle at idle and turn the stearing wheel left and right while someone looks under the engine and back to the hoses and stearing pump on top. Yo might be lucky and see spirting from a hose or fitting! If not there should be dripping onto the paper eventually. Turn off the engine and look for streams running down those hoses. Follow the streams upstream to the leak or leaks. If they are from cracked hose, chamge both hoses. If they are from a seal in the power steering pump, replace or rebuild the pump.
first check your wheel nuts are all tight.also check wheel size is the wheel the same size as the other wheels.take the car to tyre center.how do you know you know you have a vibration if its not through the stearing.most likly in the back wheels.adrian;;;;;;;;;;;
remove the reservoir cap jack up the front of the truck turn key to unlock the stearing wheel then turn the wheel lock to lock for aprox 10 to 15 min ad fluid as needed
stearing jerks to the right and or left when in a turn eather righr or left , power stearing pump has been replaced and the stearing box has been replaced , did not solve the problem.
you may have air in the lines to the steering rack. or the fluid is low. there is also a chance your replacement pump is defective. a lot of steering pumps are remanufactured. a way to check for air in the lines is to take the filler cap off, have someone turn the steering wheel lock to lock a few times and hold for a few seconds at full lock each time, check to see if any air bubbles arise in pump reservoir. if no bubbles are seen you can also try a vacuum pull on the reservoir if you have the tool to do so, that tool will pull any air from the lines, but the engine has to be off because it will also pull some fluid from the pump in the process, when you don't see any air bubbles in the vacuum tools's lines it should be ok.
Have you checked the tires?
