 Subject: steering problems

I have a 4.7L 01 club cab 4wd with 77K and it is experiencing steering problems. The symtom is an irregular feel in the steering wheel. When I turn I feel a resistance in the steering and then the wheel turns quickly and the result is a pretty choppy turn. It seems to happen at the same steering wheel location each time and it happens in both directions. This is the really confusing thing though, when the truck is just sitting there idleing I can turn the wheel until I feel the resistance and then try to hold it steady and the steering breaks into oscillation. I have checked the linkage before and after the hydralics and it all looks good and I have replaced the power steering fluid with fresh. I flushed the system and the old stuff looked pretty bad. It is brown in comparison to the new stuff which is clear. The power steering pump seems to be fine it doesn't make any noise, this leads me to believe that I am looking at a new rack and pinion. Does anyone have any suggestions for my problem or similar experiences. Thanks
