I recently posted I was having hard spots in my steering system on my 1992 Lexus LS400. Aside from the hard spots The power steering was pretty smooth I was told By one of the experts here that I need to replace the rack and Pinion. So I purchased a rebuilt rack and Pinion from Detroit axle. After installation my steering is now stiff i'm wondering if now has my power steering pump going out all of a sudden. Or could it be the solenoid the screws into the rack and Pinion? I do appreciate any answers you might have
Make sure all air is bleed out of the system by turning the wheel fully to one side then the other until the air is out of system and fluid level is at the correct level before replacing the solenoid.

this problem indicates a bad steering rack. the bushings in the rack are worn and have caused groves in the housing causing the binding. the only solution is to replace the steering rack. if a problem was the power steering pump it would not get easy when you turn the steering wheel further the problem would be there all the time.
