Default Help! Pitman arm question

I own a 2005 Gmc jimmy 4x4 .....so I've done all my research and watched all the videos and still ran into problems. I took the power steering gear box off to put the new pitman arm on everything went fine... put it all back together all the lines are where they should be... fluids in fire it up now not sure if its the gear box but there is a rubbing sound.. and the steering does not feel right any thoughts?

I just did a pitman arm on a 99 a few weeks ago.
I still need wheel alignment but everything else is fine.

did you get aligned yet?
did you bleed the power steering?

just raise front wheels off the ground
take the cover off the fluid
and turn the steering wheel lock to lock about 15 times or so
all the air should work itself out the top
