Power steering problem

Dear Sir,

I have forklift type FD60H-3. Have a problem with power steering. The problem is when the steer is turn for 1 turn, it's ok. But if more than 1 turn, the steer is heavy. First check my technician found that bearing at steer as is broken. than he open the steer as and change the bearing. After that, the steer is heavy even from the beginning. Than he check the boom power steering. He open it and said that the metal ring inside the boom is like piston ring. When the boom is in minimum length position, the ring is closed, but when the boom is in maximum length, the ring is open. So he change the boom ring with seal (He change the piston to so it can use rubber seal instead metal ring). But now the problem change. When I turn the steer to left, it's more easy than turn the steer to right. It's like the steer won't turn to the right. Can anyone have idea what's the problem ? Thank you before.
