Default power steering issues

so my 01 cherokee is turning hard and makes a whining sound like the wheels have reached their maximum turing radius when i turn the wheel slightly. I checked all lines and fluid level everything seems to be fine. I think its the pump how can i tell if its the pump or the steering box?And if it is the pump do i need to purchase a pump with or without the resevoir or does it make no difference? thanks for your time.
