850 power steering stiff 850

posted by  someone claiming to be mark on  Fri Apr 29 19:38 CST 2016 [RELATED]

On my 850 non-turbo with 450K+ miles, and original steering components, I am getting a very heavy steering response. When the car id cold, the steering is fine. After the car is hot and I make a turn - especially at slow speed - the steering resists turning and also seems to 'catch'. Can you tell me of this indicates a bad rack, a bad pump, or perhaps a problem with the steering column universal lines? The fluid level is fine and I dont see any leaks.

Many thanks for any ideas.
