Power Steering Problem
I took the GrandSport out to Pike Peak International Raceway for the last event ever on the race track. During the fourth session, something happened to the power steering. For the first two inches of turning, the power assist works fine. Anything beyond that has no power assist. I was able to drive it home with effort, but it wasn't fun.
We looked it over and it's not the belt, low fluid or air in the unit. Any ideas on if it's the pump or the rack?

Curious, do these have any controls on the ps system? My bro's 97 chevy pickup tries to alter the steering assist pressure based on vehicle speed. Certain positions in the steering wheel it cuts out entirely.
