I made a very sharp U turn after that when I attempted to pull into a parking space the steering was very hard, like when the engine ideled down, but when I kept turnong the wheel and applied more gas the steering returned to normal, once the car is moving even at 4-5 mph the steering si okay, and also no problem on the open road. When I did make the U turn there was a noticible groan from the front end. The belt looks fine and the fluid level is up.

It is possible that you have a fault in the pump. Especially since you have the condition in both directions accompanied with noise. The only real way to rule it out is to put a gauge in the pressure line. That is somewhat of a special tool, not readily available.
