Re: steering upgrades
Having 26"s on your H2 increases the stress on the idler arm and tie rod ends especially. It could be that you've weekend these over a period of time there for your steering pump may be having to work harder. I may have alright caused harm to the pump, i couldn't say for sure since I've never seen your car. I would recommend replacing/upgrading those parts in particular the other ones you listed are optional but would also be helpful if upgraded. Then if it's still giving you trouble, you probably have damaged the pump and would need to simply replace it.
Note: You shouldn't have to upgrade the pump in any way, as long as you upgrade those parts that go with it then that should take all strain away from the pump and not cause damage again.
