My understanding is that the load reactive orbital valve go into a neutral state allowing fluid to flow to which ever side valve is being forced.
Thus allowing slow “difficult”steering.

Went outside and turned the wheel in my truck, it turns and it's been sitting a few hours

Swapped out my ratty old original drivers door for one with very little rust and electric window and locks. I swapped in the original door lock so I could continue to lock and unlock the door.
After thought, who was the Numpty that thought plastic door hinge bushings on a square body was a good idea? Those pins didn’t want to come out. Mr die grinder said otherwise.
I also saved all the parts from the original door.
