Steering Issue
Well, the car just developed this problem
If you have seen the show 5th Gear...there is an episode where they test this car...and the driver started doing donuts and burnouts...after he did 2 burnouts...the steering went dead...it was like the power steering wasn't there...
That's happening to me...no burnouts though
It takes so much effort to turn the car..i have to clock the steering wheel so much for a small turn
does it sound like the power steering pump?
please help!

id do the following
1. Check the fluid level
2. Check to make sure your serpentine belt is still on and the pulley spins freely
3. Listen for excessive whining when you turn the wheel.
If the level is ok, and your belt and pulley are fine, you probably got a bum pump
