I've replaced the pump the rack and pinion assembly the high pressure line and the pressure sensor. The steering is still hard to turn, but only after i've been driving and come to a stop. And only sometimes. What can it be?

It is possible that they installed a defective Rack and Pinion Steering. The other possibility is the steering rack is misaligned and/or loose. I had this problem with a Buick. Yes I know it's 2 different cars, but I had to replace the steering column, and after doing so it wasn't tight, and so it shifted out of place (like in bumps or hard turns) and caused intermittent hard steering.
