Hello!

I have changed tie rods on a 240sx before; however, this is the first time, after I have done it, that the steering wheel is vibrating during a turn. And it vibrates MORE if I make a right turn than a left.

The vibrations seem to be going away the more I drive, so I have a feeling it will dissipate once the cars gets some miles. But that still leaves me wondering...

What causes the steering wheel to vibrate, during a turn, after tie rods have been changed?

My guess would be air, but since I did not mess with the PS lines or fluid res, how can air have gotten in? Unless when you take the inner tie rods off and move the rack by hand something changes.
