New vibration
This past winter I pulled the motor and transmission (Muncie 4-speed), to fix various oil leaks. I decided to replace the clutch since I had everything out. Put the same luk clutch in that I put in 15 years ago. Put on new water pump, oil pan gaskets, u joints front and back. I know I torqued the harmonic balancer when I put it back on. Good news leaks are fixed. Bad news I now have a vibration that only occurs when I turn the steering wheel to the left. Doesn't matter if standing still or driving, clutch pedal in or out. Doesn't happen turning wheel to right. My thoughts are I screwed up the u joint install. Anyone have their own opion as to what is wrong? Happy Easter hope all are in good health.

Standing still without moving - I don't think it would be U-joints. The clutch would have nothing attached to the steering wheel unless the steering column is contacting the Z-bar - not likely.
The water pump is attached to the power steering pump (assuming you have PS) via the belt. If you have PS, my guess is you left a bolt loose on the PS pump or the sleave (pulley) on the water pump is not properly tightened. Don't have a clue why only turning wheel to left and not right. No PS, beats me!!!
