Talking I recently replaced my steering valve with a 40.00 us ebay purchase. However, I now notice that the steering is not as soft as before and no code has returned. Could it be that the replacement, though verified to be compatible, was designed differently. The picture on the seller's web site matched the one I removed from the vehicle, however, the one I received was a bit different (the holes on the side of the shaft was positioned differently. Any advice that can be offered would be welcome, thanks
