The power steering rack has developed the following problem when you turn either right or left about half a turn on steering wheel, there is a distinct increase of resistance but after you go past this problem disappears until you return to the same point.
Is this the power steering ram showing signs of wear

As it is when you turn both left and right I wouldn't suspect the ram as it would be in two different positions depending on whether you are turning one way or the other.
After posting gave UJ a spray with plusgas and problem solved. Will lubricate it with Lithum grease soon.
