Default Replaced ps return hose and now it feels overboosted..

I had one of the return hoses from the power steering pump replaced as it was beginning to leak and emptied out the ps reservoir. I had the hose replaced and did the requisite ps fluid bleeding. Now it feels like the the power assist is at full boost all the time. No matter what speed I'm driving, it has full assist. Prior to this, the level of power assist seemed to decrease as the speed of the car increased and the steering had a nice weight to it. Now it feels waay to light at any speed above 25mph. Taking corners is kind of scary now. Has anyone else had this problem?

I've done searches and could only find people complaining about no power steering.

any updates man? maybe check your power steering fluid to make sure it is not overfilled. or check the connector for the power assist on the power steering rack to make sure it is plugged in....... keep us updated.
