I've read atleast 6+ cases of this now. The power steering pump shaft is the weak link on our systems and will actually snap (internal to the pump) under load. The input pulley will still spin, but the vane pump will not. High engine RPM's combined with moving the steering wheel lock/lock puts too much of a load on our harbor freight tools quality pumps.:banghead:

If stuck as in the sno the belt/pulley may be packed in sno, take a look.
