My power steering all of a sudden just got well stiff but only seems to be bad turning corners. Belt seems fine and fluid but seems stiff i dont know if its something to do with my wheel when i reverse at an angle it makes a grating sound on my right wheel drivers side and on rod has some tarry type stuff on it and opposite side doesnt. Any ideas??

Mine was the steering dropshaft that had seized.One of of the universal joints had given up.The dropshaft term is how the garage referred to it.Basically,it was the connection between steering wheel and steering rack.Didn't look a major dismantling task and I think they did it in 1hr.
Worth checking . Re " tarry stuff " and noise ,could be grease from c/v joint on driveshaft which could be knackered if been running dry .
