Default Replaced steering box - hard to turn to right

92 XJ 4.0 4x4.

Replaced the steering gear box due to severe play. Now steering is tight but until the engine warms up it is very hard to turn to the right, as if there is no power assist. Turning left feels normal. It doesn't matter which way the wheels are pointing, to the left its easy, to the right its hard.

I did bleed out the system. I've driven roughly 100 miles like this.


Any thoughts??????

You still could have air in it, how did you bleed it?
