As a general rule of thumb, orbitrols (steering motors) for open center hydraulic systems never go bad. They leak once in a while and that's about it.

So you are leaning towards the steering cylinders then Dr. The steering wheel turns easily just no response till you've made about 4 revolutions of the wheel

Disconnect and plug the lines or hoses at ONE steering cylinder and test it. Then, reconnect it and do the other cylinder. Yes, this means having caps or plugs for testing.
