However, the steering isn't much better. Do I need to exchange another quart, or should I be checking other things.

Since you live in a snow/rust state check the universal joint on the steering shaft, spray some penetrating lubricate on it and see if the issue improves, if it does that steering shaft portion with the universal joint needs to be replaced.
It's a common issue in rust areas after as many miles as you have on your's.
