Power steering worse!!!
So I did the power steering flush/refill because my steering felt harder than I thought it should be (just got car) and now after I'm done its worse and when I turn it isn't smooth instead it vibrates when i turn left and right parked.

If it's cavitating there's air in the system. Bleed it out.

That said you do take off the smaller hose on the reservoir correct? Best method to point it to drain because i got fluid everywhere :/

You're supposed to bleed it with the engine off. What are you talking about taking off hoses? The system should not be open when you bleed.
