I am having a problem with the power steering on my '97 ranger (4.0L). About a month a go I thought I may have got a bit of water in the reservoir while washing and decided to change the fluid right away before even running the truck just in case... only problem is I used Power steering fluid instead of ATF... now I get this problem where after a "sharp" turn (at least 1/2 a turn of the wheel) the steering won't centre, pulls back in the direction from where I turned and won't centre untill you turn a bit in the other direction. most concerning is when it does centre itself it does so ...abruptly.
I know nothing about power steering systems and am looking for a bit of help on how to troubleshoot this problem.
Sorry for the long post, any help would be appreciated
