So i dropped my jeep off this morning to have the work done. Around 3pm, It was done. I had no issues with the old pump other than about 3/4" of slack and a slight wander.

Anyways...immediately after i picked it up i noticed a bump in the steering, when steering to the right. Steering to the left was perfect. When stopped or going any speed steering to the right immediately felt like you were trying to steer into a curb and then it would release. So, i drove it back and told them. I asked if they flashed an update and they said no there were no updates. So, i asked that they check because there was definitely something with the new pump. They pulled it back, did the update and I'm still having an issue.

When i steer left or right more than 1/4 turn i feel slight bumps in the steering. Like hitting the hour marks of a clock. Same sensation as tough steering but it pushes right through it. Makes me think the pressure is super low. I saw a YouTube video of people discribing they had this same feeling. I wondered if anyone here has dealt with it and what the fix was. I honestly feel like the pressure is set so low I'm feeling the pump struggle instead of it being smooth.

Please let me know what you think and if you have experienced this. I'd like to go back to the dealer with somewhat of an educated diagnosis on my end.

Thank you

i had to take mine back for fluid top offs twice after the tsb was done.
