Could be that your pump is on its way out as well. Seems kind of
coincidental but certainly not out of the realm of possibility.
I know of some vendors that sell overdrive pulleys for steering boxes.
Assuming that I feel that something isn't physically wrong with the pump
or steering box, I would probably mark the position of the set screw on
the steering box and try adjusting that first. Failing that purging the
current fluid and putting in fresh ATF+4 compatible fluid would be my
next step.
>From there the decision process gets more complicated.
I honestly don't know if the typical power steering fluid is of a lower
viscosity than ATF. Could be for all I know, but I am not an expert in
this field.

The system has no air in it.
I uised regular power steering fluid in it.
I wonder if I switch it out to atf if it will help?
Seems like it doesn't have enough pressure.
Maybe my pump is getting weak and i need to go with a thicker viscocity
oil.
