The steering wheel on my 99 crown vic police interceptor periodically tightens up to the point where I can hardly turn it at slow to moderate speeds while driving?? Ive checked the power steering fluid levels and they appear fine?? any help would greatly be appreciated, thx.
I have ran into 2 issues in these vehicles---if it binds while sitting still also, check the steering shaft, i have found the u-joints in the shaft tighten up and binds dangerously tight---if they are free, sounds like you may have a steering box issue or restriction in a line---hope this was helpful!!

Hi, the steering wheel does not whine or grind, it sounds almost as if you were stretching a rubber band ..is the best way i can describe it.This problem just arose a few days ago and is occouring more frequently as I drive..almost as if the steering wheel locks up, until i use alot of force to turn it.

Does the power steering whine or grid? This could point to the need for a new pump or belt for the power steering system.
It has power steering fluid but the wheel is stiff
