Can't turn steering wheel! Power steering problem? Help!
I went mudding today, driving pretty rough and I noticed now it is difficult to impossible to turn my steering wheel. If I am parked, it's not guna happen, if I'm moving slowly it's a litle weird. If I'm just driving theres no problem. It also vibrates and makes a weird groaning noise when I'm doing this difficult steering wheel turns. Is this a power steering problem? Or could I havemessed something up offroading? Please let me know!

You think?
Have you check the PS fluid for water or mud? If nothing else, drain the system and refill with ATF4
Well I added fluid and the problem is still here. Where are the hoses?
Follow the 2 hoses coming out of the steering rack. Might also want to check the boots and see if either one is full of fluid. If they are, you busted a seal and need a new rack.
