Default Tight steering anyone? Replace ball joints and everything else? I know what will fix

Well if you have really tight steering, like it feels like its a manual rack and you've been replacing parts like crazy ball joints, racks, steering shafts ect....All you need to do is go outside and take a hammer and smack the power steering pump some good ones. There's a check valve in the pump that gets stuck. Smack it some good ones like I did and save your self some cash. Almost just spent $500 on front end parts and all I needed was to smash on it. Felt good and free!
