    Hi, i have 05 columbia and for the past month or so my power steering has been acting up, I will drive and power steering will become stiff, i have to use both arms to steer and then it will work again, what could it be? Pump? Steering/gear box? Any way to test it? TY

    Should be all in the search block but a flow - pressure gauge is needed. Make sure nothing is binding in the column and such.

    Have you ever changed the filter.
    There is one in the power steering reservoir where the return line enters, usually just under the large cap if the hose is attached to it..
