Hi,

Recently, I noticed that my 855 steering wheel would be hard to turn to the left sometimes while driving in the highway. Then lately it becomes either left or right turn. It doesn't happen all the times just intermittent. I checked the power steering fluid, level is OK and color of the fluid is still red. No whinning so far from the steering pump. Aux. belt is rather "new", replaced at 120k miles and my car is now at 130k miles. T-belt change will be done at 140k miles, 10k more miles to go ....

What could be the problem ? A bad (or going to be bad pump) or steering rack ?

Any suggestion to troublshoot this problem is appreciated.
