Default Passenger Tire rub after replacing power steering box

Hello,
I have recently had my power steering box rebuilt due to excessive leaking. While I had the steering box out, I went ahead and replaced the power steering pump, as it had a slight weep. Put everything back together, and all seemed fine. No leaks, no whines or groans, it drives straight . Until...turning full right, the tire now rubs on the radius arm. It did not rub previously. I did follow the RAVE manual for disassembly and assembly of the box and pump. To the question...what do I need to adjust to stop the passenger tire from rubbing?
Thanks for any suggestions.

My first guess is that the pitman arm didn’t get reinstalled on the steering box in the fully centered position. It wouldn’t need to be very far off to rub.

Thanks Harvlr. I will double check the Pittman arm. I did use a centering bolt when I removed and installed the steering box.
