This solenoid is part of the valve-body which is inside the transmission. I have attached the testing that needs to be done in order to find the issue. I would not recommend just replacing the solenoid because it is not the easiest part to replace and it may not be the issue so we need to do the testing first.
As for the steering issue, this sounds like a pump issue but again, we have some testing to find out for sure. Most then likely the pressure is low due to a weak pump but I would want to confirm that first because the pump is not the cheapest to just replace it.
Let me know if you have questions.
