steering problem
ok so im all stock, stock height, stock steering...
when im turning into parking spaces, its like i loose power steering, i have to give it my all to turn into spaces. its only if i have to turn sharply. i cant decide if its some sort of power steering lose or possibly something getting into a bind, just a bad joint on the drag link, or tierod.
any suggestions or opinions?

Sorry bout just getting back to this thread, but I checked the power steering level. It's fine...and 1 of my belts slips and squeals on start up, but I'm pretty sure that's just a/c...any other ideas...I still think something is binding up when I turn. Like a bad joint, but I'm not sure how I can confirm that other then just replacing parts

Get the front up in the air, disconnect the pitman arm and swing the front from full left to full right and see if you have any binding. Then start 'er up and turn the wheel from lock to lock to see if the box is binding.
