Sorry to hear its not solved yet. I would have sworn it sounded like a bad pump. I thought I was the only one to get lemon parts. I guess at this point you may want to replace both the valve and ram to be sure.

Also make sure the hoses from the control valve to the ram are on the correct sides.

I think I have the same problem as you. I was thinking about replacing my power steering pump first and seeing if that fixes it but now I think I will wait and see what you find.

This is a question I asked the local Corvette shop . Which hose goes where ? I was told they criss-cross and that if they were backwards , it would brake my arm (with the steering wheel ) .

Can anyone else tell me or even post a pic of how these lines are supposed to run ? I would highly appreciate it .
