Power Steering difficult when parking or at idle

What is your question?

The power steering works fine when driving but when slowing down to park or when sitting still at idle it is very difficult. I had the fluid flushed and am thinking the power steering pump needs to be replaced?

Sounds like the pump. Is the pump making noise at idle? t idle not pumping enough to operate properly. Fluid low? I change ALL my fluids yearly. Power steering, brake, anti-freeze, spark plugs. Tranny every other with 4wheel drive transfer case fluid.

Thank you for the quick reply. The pump is quiet, no leaks, no bubbles, no whine, no squeal and I had the fluid flushed. I do notice that when it warms up to operating temp the steering is harder at idle and parking.
