2001 Ford Explorer 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic

I just replaced the front hub assemblies on my explorer. KNow when I start the vehical and turn the steeringwheel to a certain point the tires and steering wheel pulse back and forth. This happens sitting still or driving down the road. Any help would be appreciated.

My '01 did identical "pulseing" I don't have the proper answer but I attributed it to disturbing the outer seals of the steering rack by letting the tie rods hang, possibly allowing a fluid bypass of sorts.
It quit after about a week of driving and "excersizing" the steering through the pulse zone. Good luck
