Maybe you have air in the system. Did you bleed it properly?

i don't know if they did or not I know they put a quart of PS fluid in it...it was driving better tonight or maybe I just got used to it. It drives much tighter than the 2020 corolla I have for work

If they put power steering fluid in it and not the proper ATF Ive read of that causing a lot of issues. And the ACV is known as the cause of white smoke,fluid sucked into intake manifold,lots of threads here on that.
