Have you made any adjustments to the steering box? If you tighten the sector shaft adjustment too much on the box it will do this.

When I put a new larger steering stablizer on my truck. Driving slow, like backing out of my driveway steering was tight. But loosened up after a short while. When you rebuilt your axle did you replace the balljoints? You can tighten them to much and bind up the steering, especially if you used an impact gun.
