Hi,
If you have air in the power steering system, try this:
1 - Safely lift both front wheels from the ground.
2 - Make sure the power steering fluid is clean and full.
3 - WIth the engine off, turn the steering wheel from lock to lock (all the way left and then right). Do this several times.
4 - CHeck the fluid level and inspect it to see if there are air bubbles in it. If there is, make sure it is full and repeat the procedure.
5 - Once you are no longer seeing bubbles and the system is staying full, lower the front of the vehicle and start the engine. Turn the wheel from lock to lock a few times and recheck the fluid. If it is full and no bubbles are present, all air should be out of the system
I'm not sure exactly what you are experiencing. Let me know what is happening. Also, here is a link that discusses the most common power steering issues and how to repair them:
