If your driving on sealed roads with 4wd engaged it will bind up the drive train and cause these issues.
Symptoms of being in 4x4 drive and travelling on hard surface
in 4x4 action there is no 3rd diff to allow for axle torque wind up and if on hard surface there is too much grip from the tires to allow for slippage to release that torque
that wind up [laces extra strain on all of the drive train which may seem like brake drag and the axle cv joints are under stress so steering in anything but straight ahead is difficult and places extra load on the steering pump
best practice 4x4 on any slippery surface but not on hard surface

Yes it is the Rack. Passing fluid because of cold seal problems. The call back has expired due to years gone by.

sounds like the problem is in the valving in the steering box. You may have to get a new steering box. i would get it checked.

It could be the pump, or you could also be low on power steering fluid. First off, check the level of the fluid and make sure it's adequate. Next, you can "burp" the power steering system easily, which will get rid of any air bubbles that could be in there. Easiest way is to jack the front end off the ground (both wheels), start the engine, take off the power steering fluid reservoir cap, and turn the wheel side to side as far as it'll go, several times. This circulates the fluid through the system and pushes any bubbles in there up to the reservoir, where they'll float up to the top and "burp" into the air.
If neither of those things works, you may have problems with the steering rack and pinion, or possibly with your suspension (check the tie rods, inner and outer, as well as the bushings in the various suspension pieces).

if you have power stering oil in it its normal for the pump to be noisy its air that make that noise continue to drive air will come out by itself after a few kilometer it will go away if you have enough oil thanks pierre

YOUR VECHICLE HAS THE HYDRALIC BOOSTER.WHICH YOU POWER STEERING PUMP CONTROL BRAKING SYSTEM.CHECK POWER STEERING PUMP FLIUD LEVEL.IF LOW CHECK POWER STEERING PUMP HOSES FOR LEAKS.IF YOU FIND NO LEAKS.THE HYDRALIC BOOSTER OR POWER STEERING PUMP FAULTY.
