1997 yukon steering

Hi my 97 Yukon just gave me a workout!! I was turning into my apartment complex and all of sudden my steering was stiff. I had the hardest time turning the wheel at full circle at any direction. My powering steering fluid was normal except it looked a little dirty. The tires turned, it just takes a lot of energy to do so. Can someone please help me.

Sounds like a pump issue (no pressure)
Sometimes the shaft will break at the pump, the pully will turn, but the pump will not biult pressure.
Are you sure the belt didn't break?

Re: 1997 yukon steering

I just back from checking my Yukon and I didn't see any broken or loose belts. I turned on the engine, warmed it up for about 10 minutes before I tried to turn the steering wheel and its still the same. Very hard to turn, no leaks, I did notice that when I switched the gear into drive and reverse I heard like a "ting" sound coming from under the car. Could it be that my power steering fluid. I checked the power steering fluid level and it was fine....with the exception that it looked pretty dirty. Can this be the reason?
