sounds like you have a problem in the steering gear. There is a valve in the gear that rests in the center position, but goes to one direction or the other to allow fluid to assist in that particular direction. If it isn't moving one direction or the other from it's at rest position, there will be little or no fluid assist to that particular direction. One thing is for sure, it is not the pump. The pump has one job, and that is to provide high fluid pressure for power assist. The fact that you have power assist in one direction, proves that the pump is doing it's job. Look at the gear as your culprit. I think your problem is probably there.

What is speed sensitive power steering?
When the car is driven at low speed, the power steering gives full assist so the driver can turn the steering wheel easily. Parking or turning tight corners can be done with little effort. As vehicle speed increases, the mount of power steering assist is reduced and the steering wheel becomes harder to turn. This gives the driver more feedback about road conditions through the steering wheel and better vehicle control. If an emergency arises and the driver needs to turn the steering wheel quickly, the full power assist is provided almost immediately after the wheel is turned only a few degrees.

the collapsable steering column has a u-joint ,take it off ,make sure the front wheels are straight and mark the steering wheel position in relation to the shroud before you do this, you will find the u-joint has frozen or stiff.Usually there is no fix,sometimes i have drowned it in wd-40 and got it better, but purchase new one or good old junk yard will sell you one for $20.00.

How does electric power steering work?
Electric power steering replaces the hydraulic system that has been used for decades. A rack and pinion system is still in place but instead of fluid under pressure by means of the power steering pump. The electric system uses a computer controlled motor to assist in steering. On some cars this motor can be located in the steering rack itself or it may be mounted outside. Some of these system have a computer to monitor road speed, and adjust the motor speed to provide different feedback depending on speed. This allows for better low speed assist and better road feel on the highway. Another advantage is that because their is no power steering pump to draw horsepower away from the engine. It would have a slight effect on engine load. These systems are becoming mainstream and will probably be in most vehicles in the next few years.
What can cause a 1993 Ford Tempo to not start occasionally?
We had this problem. It turned out that moisture had gotten into the distributor cap. Once we replaced it, the problem stopped! I had the same problem with my 93 Ford Tempo and after Sears had replaced the battery, they did not completely tighten down the ground cable. Ford could have put a better battery terminal on the car as well, as it was a bear to tighten down.

Do all 1995 or older Jeep Cherokee's have some slack in the steering?
My 1994 Cherokee has very light (Easily steer with one finger) and fairly loose steering but not too much "slack". Check all the steering linkages for slack, or watch under the car as a friend turns the wheel back and forth (With the car off, but wheel unlocked). 2/5/09- I just picked up a 93 with the same problem. I replaced the short connector which comes right off the steering arm, along with the track bar and stabilizer. Handles sooooo much better now. Also put new 225/75's on and she's a real beaut on the highway!
