Ford Ranger More than two decades ago, the Ford Ranger debuted as an answer to various compact pickup trucks being made available by Japanese automakers. The Ranger was cleanly styled and offered with a choice of a 6-foot or 7-foot bed. Ford boasted that the Ranger had more interior room than the best-selling imports and that 4-by-8-foot construction material could be carried in the bed.

Default Steering vibration

Hello Ranger enthusiasts. I am a happy Ranger owner as well as my parents of whom I am writing in this forum about as they are computer challenged ( more so than myself!). Anyhow, they were out and about in town today and Pop managed to run the battery down listening to the radio while his other half was tending to errands. A big help he is in town ! Anyhow, once it was obvious that the battery was dead they had a bit of a hill and managed to jump start the truck. Soon after the truck was running, he noted that there was some vibration while turning the truck at slow speeds. When they jump started the truck they did turn the wheel with out the truck started so would this have any bearing on why they now have vibration ? There was no vibration issues before the dead battery incident. Perhaps some damage to the steering pump ? Any advice would be appreciated.
