Hard steering or Non-Assist can result from hydraulic/mechanical failure conditions. very important to know when this conditions occurs. it could be but not limited to: Power steering pump, Steering gear internal mechanism. Pump flow and pressure test may have to be performed. also check: resistance at Vehicle speed signal circuit, Power steering valve solenoid. Thanks.
