Check the belt tension. If that's okay, check for binding in the hoses. At this point, it has plenty of fluid, the belt is tight, and the hoses look good. Now jack up the front of the car, remembering to set the parking brake and chock the rear tires. Look at your suspension for a seized tie rod, ball joint, or a bent steering rack. No problems? Look at the front tire tread. Any unusual wear pattern? Have the front end aligned, and your problem should be solved.
