Just had sway bar linkage replaced-now when I turn the steering wheel at real low speeds or just setting getting ready to turn the tires "shake and chatter" it seems something in the steering or front end changed after correcting the sway bar. what happened?

Is there any power steering pump noise? Get back to me with as much info as you can so we figure this out. Thanks

to reply to your question-No power steering noise-checked the fluid and it seemed dark but did not smell burned-all other connections seem to be fine-the shake did not start until sway bar linkage was replaced

Ok I would lift the front end of the ground and look for any loose tie rod ends or wheel bearings and such. It could be that the swaybar now being inplace and tight it is showing another weak link. Let me know what you find.
