Have you checked your fluid levels? I recommend checking if it's low, if it's low change your oil, if it's not low...change it anyway, if that fails, recommend chaning your PS pump

There's not much to look at in the system. Check the boots on the rack and if they're bulging with fluid they you have a rack leak which when put under pressure (when you turn the wheel) will push the fluid into the boots rather than through the rack giving it a heavy feel.

You could have air locks in your system and the fluid could be low or the pump stuffed. Start with fluid levels, check the boots and you'll at least have some idea of what's going on. The pump will normally make horrible noises as they start to go and when they let go.

If you're having no luck or are not into DIY stuff any power steer place will sort it for you. But be mindful that power steering can run into dollars depending on the issue. Can't hurt to have a look yourself and maybe get a 2nd opinion from a more knowledgeable mate so that if you do have to go to a place you wont get ripped off.

Good luck and let us know how you go.
