i have noticed that recently [this morning] that i have a few tight spots in my steering, and it is mostly when NOT moving, or moving very slowly. i do not, as of right now, seem to notice the tightened steering response while going faster than 20mph, but it still of concern to me. i also notice that i am having difficulty steering/turnign when braking and slowing down.



does this sound like a PS pump, or a problem with the rack? anyone have any ideas.....there IS fluid in the PS pump reservoir......





thanks for the help...

it sounds like a pump problem. the pump works the hardest when you are going slow

that was my first thought. i never really associated a rack with anything other than an clunking noise if it were going out.



my other reason for assuming that the pump IS the problem is that when i turn the steering wheel all the way in any direction, i get a squealing noise..........





anyone got a power steering pump that they wna to get rid of????
