Default PS Problems

So last night I am just cruising and I am making an easy right turn and BAM so loud I let out a WTF in front of my 9 yo So a few blocks later I go to make a left turn and the wheel will go a little ways and stop....a 90* turn is now a 3 pt. turn Makes a shhhhh sound turning left but quiet straight or turning right... Tried to force a tight left into a parking spot and I heard a grind/pop...BTW checked resovoir and it is still full...Wheel will not even come CLOSE to lock turning left

So this is pretty much the EXACT symptons when a buds truck snapped a shaft in the PS pump but it has a pump/steering box instead of the pump/rack setup we have.....

Soooooo.... anybody out there experienced this or can give me any insight into the situation????

THANKS

Jack up the front of the car and turn the wheel from lock to lock with the car off to see if the rack has a problem.

Check your ball joints while the car is in the air
