Default Steering box replacement problem

I just replaced my steering box with a refurbished unit. Also a new steering shaft, hoses and fluid. I’m getting a drone noise while turning and it seems to be a bit harder to turn left compared
to right. Has anyone encountered this? Thanks

Sounds like you've still got some air in the system that needs to be bled out.

I may be wrong but is bleeding just moving the wheel all the way back and fourth? Sorry, first time doing this

Ok, did the front lift and engine off procedure. Turning the wheel quite a few times and got all the air out and seems good now, Thanks Alex-M
