I have posted this in my post about my rig but have not gotten any input!!!!
I have an 88 burb when I got it steering was all messed up! I have replaced the PS gear box (2 X) it is still leaking at the shaft! I also replaced the PS pump! My main problem now is the steering is no working correctly! when I am making a turn it is like the ps pump is not pumping give it alittle gas and works fine but not so good when I am turning to get on the gas!!!I installed a ps cooler and WAS mounted below the pump and box moved it today and rebled the system was working great until I went up the road and turned around got about 1/2 way into turn like ps just quit!Was better after I bled the system in the yard and did ok pulling out of the yard then started messing up again any idea on what is causing this????? The PS box is from Carquest PS pump is from Autozone?? I have a trip comming up and need this fixed!!!
Thanks,

You might have a problem with the P/S pressure hose collapsing internally shutting off your fluid flow. I would replace the hoses and see what happens. Does it have Hydro-boost brakes?
 
On jack stands, disconnect your tie rod from the steering arm then grab a tire and turn lock to lock. I have seen the ball joints lock up, and make you think it is the pump or some other part.
