    Likely it's low power steering fluid, a bad power steering pump, or a bad rack and pinion.

    Dunno how much it's going to cost. Depends on how much lube the mechanic applies before he bends you over.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    When my 00GT did this it was the rack. You'll have to check and see if you have a Magnasteer rack or not. If you have a small wire coming up from near where the steering shaft connects to the rack, then you have Magnasteer (variable steering). My pump and lines were fine, although I did replace the pressure line while I had it out seeing as it had almost 200K on it. Cheap insurance against leaks.

    Mine did that when the rack went. It took me about 2 hours to change the first time about 45 min the second time when the rack i put in was bad and i had to swap it out for a new one instead of a junk one from the junkyard.
