I rebuilt my power steering control valve because it had a serious leak at one of the zerks. Now no leaks but kind of intermitently not getting full power steering on slow speeds. Parking lot speeds. Started mostly when moving to left - now does in either direction. Used Type F fluid when replacing. Power steering pump is fairly new. Was not doing this prior to rebuilding control valve. Any suggestions? Thanks

Most common cause is belt slippage.

Checked belts are tight. Coul dit be the pump going bad. Any way to rule it out?
