If the problem was the pump, once replaced and system bleed of air your steering would be back to normal. The pump should not require breaking in, never heard of this.
thank you for advise. fluid is ok. tuned wheel lock to lock several times and seems to be alittle better. its not like it was before it went bad.

i did mean solenoid. what are signs when they go bad?
thanks
