I have a 2003 Trailblazer EXT with 93k miles. 4.2L V6. When the vehicle is stopped and I try to turn right, the steering is very hard. It is fine to turn if the vehicle is moving. Do I need to change the PS fluid or change the Power steering pump? it was a little low, but not horrible.

 

I am having the same problem with a 2005 Trailblazer and would love to hear of a solution to this. It will turn great to the left but locks up on right turns.

 

If you have assist to the left but not right; sounds like the spool valve in the rack is bad...new steering gear $$ would be my guess.

 

I have the same problem but when it started hit kicked out of drive had to put it into awd for it to drive then heard a grind then put it back in 2wd and now the steering wheel works when I give it gas but have to two hand it to make some turns power steering pump was my first guess but the grinding noise has me wondering

 

This just happened to me anyone find a solution?

 

It's got a new pump on it but it still doing this need some assist my self
