Hard to turn right

Just replaced the steering pump and gear box last week and never really tested it.

The steering wheel is off(turned left to about10-11 oclock), but I was told on another thread I just need to get a toe adjustment.

My problem is I need to use more strength to go right, its not hard, but when I turn left its barely any strength.

Could there still be air in the system?

Yes there could be air in the system. Because the pump is above the gear, it should work itself out. You could also have a defective gear or a bind in your steering linkage or front suspension.

Re: Hard to turn right

Good thing I kept receipts. Hopefully the mechanic can tell me if its defective or if its something else like you suggested. Thanks
