The last time i heard something similar was on a Pontiac, and virtually the same scenario. The final cure was a second trip to the junkyard and a second box to solve the problem. The steering had a "hard spot" part of the way through a right turn. Only thing I could figure was it sat for so long in the junkyard in one position. Who knows? You should also check the rest of your steering components thoroughly. A bad steering damper or even a loose tie rod end can cause the same sort of issues.

Air bubbles in the system will do the same thing. Air gets into the system when first assembled and you need to let the fluid settle a bit, then refill.
