Hi,
Highly confident that my cam rack or p.s. pump or both are to blame for my steering wheel vibrations. Found a pinched return line from the pump to reservoir thanks to the new engine mounts lifting the oil pan off the line. Never gave it much thought before but my car developed a whine, similar sounding to an electric motor months ago. Put a Stethoscope on the ps pump to confirm.
Anyway I replaced the pinched line in hopes that the pump is still good. I didn't bleed the fluid properly and the vibration was got exponentially worse. Now the car is parked uphill with the wheel at full lock to the left. Atf fluid in reservoir is saturated with tiny air bubbles currently.
A few questions:
1) Should I follow these directions?

Or should I leave the car like I have it now, put wheel to full right after a day and wait again. Then follow the above procedure?
2) Or is my pump maybe to far gone and causing the air in the fluid?
The rack is bone dry under the dust boots.
Sorry for the long post and drawn out process I'm going through, but I much appreciate all the help.
