Default steering problem

I just bought a used sc400 and did not realise it until now that when your driving at around 40+ miles and slowdown to make a turn it is hard to turn. Is the power steering going out? But if I drive slower then the above MPH turns are smooth.

Try flushing your power steering by this method in the link. Do a search and you will find it. Step by step and some good pix. Use on Dexron Automatic type fluid in it. If that doesnt help, you need to clean the screen on the bottom of the rack and pinion. It may be clogged. Its kinda hard to get to. Good luck and keep us posted.
