Help needed: Power Stearing problems!

I had a new powersteering pump put on the other day. Then a couple of days later the steering is hanging up when I turn back and kinda sticks in position until forced to turn. Any idea what my problem is now???

Sounds like you're low on fluid and/or the belt is slipping.

I'll vote on the belt slipping....if you had a new belt put on at the same time as the pump, it has proably stretched and needs to be retightened
