Hello
Sounds like your belt is slipping based off of what you have said. It is either your AC belt or the power steering one. They both have the same amount of miles if you have never replaced them. At this point I would. If you want to make sure then if you have any limit left, tighten the AC belt at the AC idler pulley location and the power steering belt at that idler pulley.
