Default power steering pump

Are there any recomendations for a replacement power steering pump i did some front end work and put a remaned steering gear,new pitman arm,idler arm,and upper ball joints all AC/delco except for the gear box that was autozone reman but the steering is tighter than it was before and jacking up the front dosen't make much of a difference,i have no idea how old this pump is and thinking it just dosen't put out the pressure it once did

are the AC/DELCO remans any good?or should i just get a new one and is there a good site to get them from?

yup i did everything at once, there was a difference in turning torgue between the old box and new on the bench i thought the old box was easier because it had a lot of miles on it looks to be original (257,000 miles) the fluid was very dark but was flushed out before the work was done

It is more than likely the problem is in the reman of the new box. I would not trust anything reman from Autozone

your probably right i dont think they will give me my money back but just keep giving me a different box maybe the adjustment nut on the top will help on a different note Napa sells the whole pump EVO and all for about 130ish
