Default Hard steering
I changed my power steering pump, flushed the old fluid out and it worked great for about 2 hours. On a turn my steering got completely hard with no whining or any noise and still currently like that. HELPP!!

Check the fluid level, and see if it is actually pumping fluid. I got two bad pumps from my local parts store, when I was working on my daughters car.......
