Hydro Assist Issues

Seems the hydro assist on the YJ has a mind of its own sometimes. It's almost as if the ram and the steering box aren't on the same page. If I'm driving down the road and say the Jeep drifts to the right, when you try to steer left to straighten up, it tends to overcompensate and jerk. All the steering linkage has been upgraded, the heim joints have been replaced, as well as the bearing and kingpins, so I know everything is tight. I'm thinking the box is going bad, but am looking for other opinions.
