Ddeath wobble after empty PS container

I knew it was leaking and drive it about 5 min to my garage for a top off, been too busy to fix the little line that's leaking. Threw An additional hose clamp on it and filled it back up, but now getting some medium wobble on slow turns (10mph) and also moderate wobble after hitting bumps at 30-40. Think I hurt the rack running it pretty dry for 5 min?

What the YEAR of the Ranger?
Shouldn't matter but always good to include that, because you never know when it might matter, lol

No, its most likely OK, but you need to purge any air thats left inside

Jack up both front wheels
Start engine and turn steering full left and right 6 times
Make sure fluid is topped up

Doing this with wheels on the ground often doesn't work because pump tends to foam up the fluid when its under pressure so all the air doesn't come out
