Need to inspect your power steering fluid.

Let me know if it is low and I will follow up.

Thanks for using 2CarPros. Com!

Power steering pump may be going south. You hearing any squeals or noises from any of the belt driven components?

If the fluid is full, have the rack and pinion checked. I have seen them begin to bind making it hard to steer.
