when you replaced the rack you should have checked the operation of the steering column/U-joint and the individual wheels. If the wheels turned easily, it's not the balljoints, which, in any case, wouldn't jam the steering gear. If the steering is still hard in certain sectors, it's most likely a ujoint on the steering column, and last I heard they were new backordered so you'll need to try to loosen up the existing one (boil it in grease for a few hours) or replace it with a used one.
Yes it's possible the pump is bad, but unlikely if it's pumping...you did flush it before you hooked it up to the new rack, right? Otherwise you voided the warranty on the new rack.
