Steering Wheel Locking during a turn..!!??
Hi, my sc4 steering wheel has locked up on me a few time now during a hard turn. It feels like I completely loose power steering for a split second. The only thing i know to check is to check for leaks in the power steering system, which I have and there is no leak.
Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this before as well and if anyone has any idea of what can cause this to to happen. THX!!

My steering gets heavy when I'm parallel parking turing the steering wheel back and forth.

Thx for the replies, but i did flush out power steering fluid with auto trans fluid, since i remember reading somewhere that's what it uses...I was gonna do the steering rack bushings later down the road, but i guess i'll have to do it pretty soon..=(..When i lowered my car, my steering did get alot more heavy...

What else is associated?
I cable tied my wiring and checked all my plugs again.
I still get in association to power steering loss:
- turn signals dont work
- climate control dies
- dash (digital) dies
- boost controller dies.
- no readout on Turbo timer
Headlights function as per normal, and the car still drives. I hit another bump or turn the wheel and it seems to come back alive
