You might have waited too long to replace your pump and caused damage to your steering box (or in your case your rack and pinion), or your pump doesnt pump the same gpm as the original. Is there play in the wheel before getting response from the wheels?
Did the stiffness get better after changeing your pump or stay the same? The problem might have been your rack and pinion and not the pump.
