Ray, this appears to be with the power steering system. I would start with verifying the condition and power/pressure output of the power steering pump. You did not state the mileage or vehicle maintenance status, however even well maintained vehicles and components do fail at times.

SOURCE: Steering becomes tight as if not enough steering

first check your belt condition, routing, pulleys, and fluid condition. if the tensioner or belt have issues, it could transfer to the component. drain and refill system by removing the return hose and then refilling with whatever hoda recomends. try this first. cheers

wrong it can be .... the pump has an impeller in it
at low speeds it might be working fine.. but at higher speeds the impeller is slipping so it is not moving the oil like it should... replace the pump...

hi from the uk from the symptoms you clearly describe ? you aare correct in your assumption that fault is'nt p/steer may i suggest you check the universal joint on the lower end of the steering column it is accessable from under the bonnet or best from underneath car this joint has no lubrication facility ie grease nipple and being hidden away is often forgotten it is a simple enough job to change it and part is not that expensive it is a matter of removing the two nuts+bolts on each end and use wd40 b4 you start it helps loosen bolts/joint leave wheels in ahead position but keep steering lock off so you can manuver the joint off it is usually splined or has a flat mating on bothe steering rack and column shafts ONCE THIS JOUNT SEIZES DO NOT TRY FREEING IT TO REFIT AS IT IS NOT SAFE fit replacement only then i suggest you put a dollop of greas around joint to prevent seizure in future? hope this helps best wishes from uk

check if the drive belt is tight enough , if is sounds like the power steering pump is faulty , is it better when reving engine ? try this while vehicle is stationary , if when reving engine the steering becomes better i would say the pump needs replacing

Steering goes from easier to stiff and back to easy when going from highway speed to off ramp. This hard steering can last from 15 seconds to 1 minute, any ideas?

The hassle has to be with the power steering pump..Check to make sure that the fluid level is up to spec and there are no leaks in the hoses.. If all looks good then the pump has an intermittent condition responsible for issue. U might want to wait till it goes completely or replace it.

Fortunately when a car is in motion the absence of of the assist is no big deal/ it helps with parking and other slow maneuvering.

I have a 2000 gmc 2500 I recently replaced my power steering pump and have trouble turning at low speeds I replaced my steering geat today and still have the problem

See if you have "variable assist power steering" with a malfunction. A solenoid may be mounted on the steering rack, provides less PS at higher speeds, full power steering capability at slow speeds or when stopped. Your belt is tight for the pump?

Front end wobble at higher speed nothing wrong with tierods everything seems tight jacked it up bushings bearings fine does not push or pull under 90 km and lower just out of the blue it will start to...

When a steering stabilizer goes bad, it will produce the exact wobble you have described. The one where you NEED to slow down to stop it, and then its fine. Its called "Death Wobble" in the car/truck enthusiast world.

Have you checked that? Typically called a steering stabilizer / steering dampener.

Good luck!

Tight steering

Some power steering systems have a high effort function, a sensor controls output pressure(to the wheels) proportionate to input pressure (steering wheel) You need the Dealer for this one. Safety is a major concern, loss of control hazard is present
