Screeching

I have a 1995 Contour. When I drive and get 10 - 12 miles into a trip, there is a loud screeching sound when I slow down and when stopped at lights. If I shake the wheel a little the sound will go away but only for a few seconds. The longer I get into a trip the louder it becomes. Any idea on what may be causing this? Someone told me if may be the power steering pump, but they are not exactly a car expert.

It is a four cylander, but I replaced the water pump about 4 months ago.

then you might be on the right route, could be the power steering pump.

Thanks. Do you happen to have any idea how difficult that is to replace on your own.

It's not too dificult, I did mine a couple years ago. Pretty straight forward job, Just make sure you got the tools.
