Rebuilt Steering Box and ......

I have a 2006 F250 2wd. Steering was getting pretty sloppy. I had a local diesel shop replace my steering box with a rebuilt box. When I picked up the truck the steering was nice and tight. While driving home I could hear a little rubbing noise(like metal on metal rubbing) as I went over a bump. Sounds like front left. Then as I exit freeway, its a big 270 degrees right turn exit, it feels like the power steering is gone and hard to turn. Not sure if brakes felt a little harder but they seemed a little harder or maybe I was just pressing harder so I wouldn't hit the gaurd rail. Then as I pulled into the driveway, 90 turn to the left, it also felt hard to steer.

Obviously I'll take it back but wanted to see if anyone had any idea.

Long time lurker, great info on this site.
Thanks
