The power steering has been giving me issues. a few weeks ago I began to hearing a strange noise from under the hood when I was accelerating. A couple of weeks ago the noise stopped and the power steering began to act funny. Usually when the power steering goes, the steering wheel is hard to turn all the way in either direction. My power steering is like a roller coaster in either direction. It goes hard then soft then hard then soft etc.
If the pump fluid level full?
I recently had a similar problem. My problem did not involve p/s pump noise. Turning the wheel either direction would go hard then easy then hard. The problem was the universal joints on the steering shaft were rusting and thus binding. I confirmed this by spraying WD40 on the joints. That would help the problem but it would come back. My mechanic fixed it for about $200.
