Subject:VC and waterpump ????sss

Having just completed a 3000 mile roadtrip to Oregon and Northern
California, I am very pleased with my 87 Syncro Gl ( Genveva) she ran
great and got 18- 21 mpg traveling around 70 mph most of the time. I did
notice my waterpump was weeping more and more as the trip progressed and
my vc seemed to get over active after long stretches of fast driving.I
have a question about my vc possibly acting up.  I find that when get
off the interstate and try to turn hard or try to make a u turn it binds
like a mofo!!. My tires are all the same.(Yoko 370's)  I have the
pressure at what the stickers suggests. After things cool down my vc
doesn't bind up.  Open to suggestions... Also I just had the waterpump
replaced last year. My mechanic said he put the " good kind" in.  Well
it's not a factory one as the mechanic in Chico, CA pointed out.  Does
it matter??
