Ford Taurus Power steering Problem

Been having an issue with the serpentine belt continuously breaking, changed several parts most recently the power steering pump. Now that that pump has been changed I can barely turn the wheel on hard or right/left turns. Small turns are fine but not sharp turns. Is the normal to occur for awhile until the pump breaks in?

As far as the belts breaking, make sure there are no pulleys that are not aligned. The PS pump doesn't require a break in. Make sure that the air has been bled from the system and it should work.
