hi from the uk from the symptoms you clearly describe ? you aare correct in your assumption that fault is'nt p/steer may i suggest you check the universal joint on the lower end of the steering column it is accessable from under the bonnet or best from underneath car this joint has no lubrication facility ie grease nipple and being hidden away is often forgotten it is a simple enough job to change it and part is not that expensive it is a matter of removing the two nuts+bolts on each end and use wd40 b4 you start it helps loosen bolts/joint leave wheels in ahead position but keep steering lock off so you can manuver the joint off it is usually splined or has a flat mating on bothe steering rack and column shafts ONCE THIS JOUNT SEIZES DO NOT TRY FREEING IT TO REFIT AS IT IS NOT SAFE fit replacement only then i suggest you put a dollop of greas around joint to prevent seizure in future? hope this helps best wishes from uk
Some power steering systems have a high effort function, a sensor controls output pressure(to the wheels) proportionate to input pressure (steering wheel) You need the Dealer for this one. Safety is a major concern, loss of control hazard is present
wrong it can be .... the pump has an impeller in it
at low speeds it might be working fine.. but at higher speeds the impeller is slipping so it is not moving the oil like it should... replace the pump...
Normally when you get tightening at the steering wheel that means that the rack and pinion is failing. A rack and pinion can cause tightening then before you realize it your steering is back to normal. I would have it checked. Good Luck
