steering wheel hard to turn

Hello, I think I'm having a problem with my rack. Turning is almost impossible when the car isn't moving. So a quick lane change in bumper to bumper traffic just dosen't happen. I hear a squealing while turning a corner, first I thought it was lower control arm. But with the turning getting more difficult must be the rack. right? Help me please. oh 92 accord lx auto.

well, did u check the obvious...

belt?

special honda power steering fluid?

power stearing pump either has no fluid, went bad, or the belt just is now non existent. If you had a problem with the rack you probably wouldnt be able to turn the wheel at all. Check it ASAP though cause on some older hondas the rack will look up with no fluid circulating through it.
