I have an '03 Kia Sedona and the steering seems hard at times and at other times seems OK. Sometimes when taking a hard turn it does not want to return to straight when you ease up on the wheel like most cars, but wants to stay in the turn. I'm just wondering if someone thinks it is the power steering pump, or a tie rod, or even a CV joint. When I take it in for repairs I don't want someone trying to take me for a ride so if someone could just give a thought or two, I will know what to ask when I get there.

Thanks!

More than likely its the p.s.pump,...when this happens is there a moan/or kinda of a pulse in the steering wheel?,also check for leakage around the pump other thing is the rack-n-pion could be starting to fail/ cv joints click and clunk sound.....tie rods about the same...but by the info you gave sounds like the pump.

Thanks. There definitely is a pulse in the steering wheel, even when I am going like 10 MPH the whell pulses back and forth. I forgot to mention that I am glad you brought it up.
