Fluid level is good and clear. At a stand still the steer looks, feels and sounds totally normal. Everything is perfectly normal exept that one spot. I am pretty confident that it is not the pump because the RPM's of the motor does not affect it in any way. It is only the speed of the car while turning that shows the issue. If I am going slow enough around a corner, it will not bind or it will bind less if i am at an in between speed. I can have the car at idle going around the corner or accelerating and it will act the same if I am at a fast enough speed. Just for reference, if I had my hand at the very top of the steering wheel (12:00 position) and make a right turn, my hand would be at about the 5:00 position when it binds and if I push harder, it will push by that spot and continue turning. That is the frustrating thing is everything else seems like it is working perfectly and I really don't want to tear the whole R&P apart to find out that it is possibly something else or to find out that it is something that you really can't see or tell is bad. That is why I was hoping someone had ran into this issue before.
