[s-cars] Hydraulic groan when turning

[Steve Mills]

Groaning is often just air in the lines, which gets in while R&Ring any of
the components.

SOP when replacing anything in the system is to jack the front of the car
up, start it, and turn lock to lock a few times. That should purge any air
out of the system.
