air in fluid, insufficient fluid, leaky rack, plugged filter/strainer (if present) excessive effort required (at steering stop or wheel blocked), defective pump (internal seals), slipping belt, defective belt, defective pulley, defective belt tensioner are the first few that come to mind, other steering rack noises unrelated to Power Steering are also possible.
