P/S lost at idle

well today i took off the ps reservoir off and put it through the parts cleaner. the metal screen in there was clogged too and could see alot of metal shaving that look like glitter. thoroughly flushed out the fluid and added new synthetic and replace the o-ring in the bottom of the reservoir. now my steering feels & sounds better then i could ever remember. i hope this helps anyone going through this. i saved so much money instead of getting a new pump/rack.
