Re: After I start my car and start to move I can't turn...
Check the level of the power steering fluid and also the condition of the fluid. You do not want a fluid that is dark or smells burnt. It sounds as if the power steering pump is going out though.

could be the power steering pump itself. If it has a bad bearing it will do that. Especially when you turn it makes the steering pump work a lot harder.
this sounds like the belt is worn and needs replacing.when its damp and cold if the belt is worn it will slip easier under this condition than in warmer weather.also the belt tension may not be proper.if this has a belt adjuster that you can adjust then the tension may need to be tightened.if it has an automatic belt tensioner(one that adjust tension all the time)like a serpintine belt then the tensioner may need to be replaced as the spring that crates the tension do get weak over time.
Do you hear a sqeal like a belt ????? It sounds like your air compressor is trying to lock up.....In turn would make your belt slip and power steering act different....
Check the fluid. if low fill it. Check the belt for the power steering pump. It should be pretty tight, if not or if cracked or burned, replace it with a new belt.
I this does not do it, Start the vehicle, leave it in park. Have someone turn the steering wheel for you and check for belt slippage, stuck wheel on the pump, etc. If this is the problem you may be looking at needing either a new power steering pump or power steering rack.
Have you checked the power steering belt? it may be loose, sometimes when you turn the wheels the engine will move very slightly and cause the belt to squeel.
Get some wd-40 and spray the belt with the engine running then se if it gets any quieter.
It is quite common from a stand still, also check the power steering fluid.
one or more return fluid lines in the rack is malfunctioning.. everything will always be fine once you start moving because the system has power assist
if i remember right those belts are not together cuz your car has two belts on it one that goes from the crank pullel that runs the a/c and alt and then one thats from the crank to the power steering
Sounds like the serpentine belt is slipping . Most likely you have a bad belt tensioner. Another possibility is your steering pump could be going out. Ball joints and tie rods make clunking or knocking sounds when they are bad.
