power steering - Vitalie - 03-24-2015

Well the steering wheel is sometimes to hard to turn stopped. It is abrupt like it turns a bit easy and then hard for a little then easy again and hard after. There is a squiking sound when it gets harder.
No leaks. The level is proper. I cleaned the bottle and the filter. Changed the fluid there. But the problem is intermittent and only when stoped. Driving is fine.

All the advise appreciated.
Thanks

1: engine RPM below 800 hot.
2: belt slips.
3: pump bad? or just worn and tad weak.

I will exclude the first to as the belts are tight and the rpm are right.
I Wil. Focus on the pump. Looks it is easy to take it out. Can it be rebuilt easy as well?

Thanks
