Weak brakes

Hello I'm trying to find out what I need to fix to get my brakes working right.
It had weak brakes and power steering when I bought it.

I did a complete brake fluid flush along with new pads and rotors.
Also power steering flush synthetic aft.

The brakes are much stronger but are still dangerous if I really need to stop.

I noticed I have strong brakes if I'm steering at the same time but weak while driving straight.

Ya all that is good it has to do with the hydro boost power steering system but I'm not sure what to replace

Power steering pump is the "power" part of the power brakes.
