The mechanical stops for the steering may not be correct, OR it is 'normal' and because the wheel is turned so far the inside tire is really scrunched. Also try increasing the tire pressure to the max in the manual
Engine running ask someone to turn steering wheel for you . Look for power steering hose move like there is pressure. and noise from power steering pump . if not change power steering pump
You don't really need power assistance when moving on the road ... where you need it more specially in parking or not really moving
hope it helps
vibrations in the truck and the steering wheel moving im assuming small movements left and right sounds like you have a broken tred or belt in one of the tires i would start with the front ones because of the movement in the steering wheel. it dosent do it at lower speeds because it takes a certian speed to cause the tire to roll out of balance this is probily the feeling you are getting in the steeringwheel and in the truck over a certain speed. its had to spot but sometimes you can jack up the car and spin the wheel by hand without removing the wheel to see if there are any lumps or high and low spots in the tire as it turns. as i said start with the front tires they are the ones that will cause the steeringwheel to move like that.. if you have tires that are under warranty they might do this check for you. the car will stay in allignment and hold good pressure if this is the problem.
take the key out and moved the steering wheel.if moves a little then put key back in and attempt to move again. still doesnt then there might be a problem with your steering pin not retracking back in.causing the pin to stick out.also be alittle rough if steering wheel is turned to hard to one side.turn to side when car on and tryback and forth.to help pin retrack back in and release lock mech.
Hi:
You can do a couple simple things to try to figure out what is going on with your expedition:
1) Inspect your tires on the front of the vehicle.
look for any signs of uneven wear or any differences between the two front tires. check the air pressure.
2) swap your tires from the back to the front : If the problem goes away. you need to have your tires inspected for problems, and balanced, if necessary.
3) check for slop in your steering. slowly turn the steering wheel and have someone watch the front tires one at a time. There should not be much play in your steering, meaning when you start to move the steering wheel, the tire should start moving very soon. Check both sides, and often you will narrow down the problem, after looking at the tires and checking for sloppiness in the steering. The most common cause is a worn out tie rod end, but if you don't find anything, usually an auto shop will inspect your car for free, and tell you what they find too.
Sounds like worn out steering parts.
Jack up the front end of the truck. Move each front tire side to side and look at the steering linkages.
Normally, when you turn the tire on one side, the tire on the othe side should move at the same time.
It's the best way to find out what steering components are worn out.
If your steering wheel is off center, this can cause the problem. Luckily this is very easy to fix -- you can do so even if you have little to no experience working on your vehicle.
1. Park the vehicle with the wheels facing straight ahead (drift forward until you are moving in a straight line). Don't worry about the steering wheel position.
2. Locate the steering drag link -- the diagonal rod coming from the bottom of the steering arm to the top of the passenger side steering knuckle (on the axle near the tire)
3. Loosen the two bolts on the rotating adjustment collar on this link. I believe these are 13mm.
4. Rotate the collar one way about two or three turns, check the steering wheel to ensure that the "Jeep" logo is perfectly horizontal. If it's not, continue rotating the collar (or move it in the opposite direction) until the wheel is centered.
5. Tighten down the nuts on the drag link adjuster.
6. Take her for a test drive and let me know how it worked!
