Default power steering in a 95LS400

hey guys, this morning the steering was unusually hard, any known problems with 95 LS? i figured maybe when the car warms up it will ease up but i was wrong....maybe a reflush would help? did you guys ever experience such a problem? thanks for the advice in advance!!

I have the same problem, so I flushed the system, filled it....Still is hard to turn on cold mornings still and is notchy for the first 5 miles.

Any ideas?
