Default PS Problems

Well I have this in a couple other places here but this might be where I get the best response. We shall see

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

Edit: well went out today and the truck had a flat and the spare had never been on the ground and was flat so I drove the car to the grocery store and had to pull over because the whole inside sidewall ripped and the tire was barely hanging on the rim.... WTF
