After replacing the pressure hose and steering pump the power steering feels sluggish at low speeds when changing direction such as in parking lots etc. On the highway there is no problem, the steering feels normal.
Is there a flushing process for the power steering system that could solve this problem? and What kind of product is use to flush it?
This car is a daily driver.

Did you bleed the system after installing? It's a simple process. Start the car, turn the wheel all the way to the lock on one side and hold it for a few seconds. Then turn the wheel all the way to the other side and hold. Do this a couple of times. Then check the fluid level and top up, if necessary.
