In the NEVER ENDING search for factory steering, I replaced the pump AGAIN but this time I went with a brand new one from rockauto. All new hoses too and actual ps fluid. It seems the best it's gonna get. I guess it'll never be as good as it once was but there's nothing left to replace!

Also greased it and threw a can of freon in for the 3200 road trip coming up!
