Power steering problems
in my quest the power steering is starting to go out and I've checked the fluid levels multiple times and they have been the same every time I have checked is my power steering pump bad is there a problem with the lines?

Looking at photos of the power steering reservoir, one possibility is there may be a filter inside the reservoir. I don't have proof that there is a filter in there, but it is common with a number of manufacturers. If the filter is restricted, you would get a loss of assist. If you want to take a shot in the dark, first try dropping the fluid level to try and see if there is a filter. If there isn't one, then the reservoir should be just an empty housing. If as I suspect there is, the filter is serviced by replacing the housing. You could try replacing the housing and getting all fresh fluid into the power steering system. If that doesn't solve the problem then you have trouble in the pump and/or rack and someone will actually have to test to prove what is going on.
