To be honest I have just got the car so i wouldn't no , never come across this before . its like the power steering works from the 10 to 2 o clock  position maybe less and the any further is like solid none power steering and a belt squeal noise

fluid flushed and changed , old fluid looked pretty good , belt was already where it needed to be , any tighter would of been to tight . going to try a used pump and if that works i will have my old on reconditioned 🙂 thanks for help

Mines just started, usually first drive of the day for a few mins. Kicks back in notches like doesn’t want you to turn it fights. Fine once set off driving after getting out your space. First time I thought wheel was against the curb. 
 

fluid long over due though is on the list

Update: changed the pump on mine and it's transformed the car. Steering was really vague and lumpy. All lumpiness now gone, steering much more direct.

Easy enough to change too
