you inspect the steering pump fluid and see if its actually pumping/circulating fluid
Glad you got resolution without spending more money. Stories of mechanics soaking the customer is why I got into DIY. My recent brake booster swap cost a whopping $65 and I did the job to my satisfaction.

Thankfully, my TR4 has not had steering problems but binding is panic inducing for sure. Members have covered the causes well. In other cars, firewall bushing where the steering passes through can cause binding.
