Was the pump you originally got from AZ a "rebuilt" pump or a "remanufactured" pump? Rebuilds are typically units that have only the worn out/bad parts replaced. Remans typically get all new parts, including the shaft.
I would suggest that you look at AC Delco for a reman pump or get a really good pump from Turn One.

I have one of those (broken and on the shelf) that they would not warranty. I replaced it with one from Autozone (re manufactured) with a lifetime warranty (1 time replacement to original owner) has functioned great now for a whole season of autocross, 2-driver car with a LOT of autocrosses on it!
My "Turn One" pump lasted about one year, with the new extra cost aluminum housing. It now functions as an expensive paperweight.
I'll give a big "thumbs up" for the Autozone Re-man. unit

Not sure, it stopped adding assist, yet did not leak externally. I removed the pressure line and the big nut under it to access the pressure control valve, and it moved freely, so it wasn't stuck or anything. Put it back together, and same condition (hard steering, as in NO power assist)
Autozone re-man unit works great!
