So here's the deal on the power steering. I had a hose get a huge leak and had it replaced. When I got it back, I was having the problem with weak power steering at low RPM's. The shop decided the pump was bad so I had it replaced. It still had the problem, so they thought they got a bad pump and put in another. Same issue.

When they originally replaced the line, they repaired it because no one had it in stock. It appears that one of the fittings from the metal line to the flexible rubber one is smaller than the original, constricting the flow of fluid. I verified with the deal that this is likely the problem, and they said it's VERY unlikely that it's the rack. I'm sick of dealing with it. $5400 for this thing is a damn good price, someone buy it.
