First thing to check is the fluid in your Power Steering pump. If the fluid level gets low, your pump will squeal or quit working altogether. Once the pump gets overheated (due to low oil level) it will most likely need to be repaired or replaced depending on the vehicle. There are several variables to consider such as serpentine belt, rack-and-pinion or steering box condition, but the first thing mentioned is where you should start.
