i have had mine stall out from the ps pump before, in the driveway with the wheel at full lock and still pushing on it (the steering wheel) loads up the engine plenty to kill it even with the switch (i was sitting still at the time of this occurance trying to do some tight manuevering with a trailer)

My durango started doing this a few weeks ago, steering is hard and sticky in the morning backing out of the driveway and turning, it improves when it warms up but it still doesn't feel a 100%.

Did replacing the power steering pump work for anyone?

How about some lucas power steering fix it all fluid, anyone ever have try that?
