XJ Heavy power steering

Hello guys I need your help

I have 2013 XJ 3.0 SC and I got heavy steering wheel for a while. The thing is I changed steering rack completely and changed fluid also because of that. First about 100 km steering felt really soft but power pump had some noise I think because of air in it. As soon as noise disappeared steering went heavy again. I tried to swap the batteries to find out if servotronic isn’t working but no changes. Than I disconnected connector on servotronic and steering went even heavier. There is no noise from power pump while turning steering to the end. I am going crazy no one can understand what’s going on pleasee guys any ideas? 🥺

Did you ever check for blockage in lines? Also is it the proper replacement rack for the car? not sure if different models have different servo parameters.

Welcome to the Forums!

Was this part also replaced when you installed the new rack?
