Default Power Steering Problem

Ok so I just recently replace my rack bushings with offset bushings. I disconnected the steering column and unbolted the rack and just let it hang for a few minutes while I greased the new bushings and slipped them on. Then I put the rack back on and tightened it all up. Now when I am turning the wheel while coming down from a rev in a gear like when I'm turning into my neighborhood I get some resistance in my wheel and a little whine coming from the pump. I have jacked the car back up looked under there and can't see anything wrong. The fluid is full and I don't know where else to look.


Any ideads?

Are the offset bushings "rubber" (urethane or whatever) or metal? If the latter then you are likely just hearing noises that the rubber bushings absorbed/masked...
