I have a 1999 Mercury Grand Marquis. Over the past couple days, the
steering has become extremely tight. I checked the p.steering fluid, it
was fine. I also checked the belts around the steering pump and they
looked great. The only noise is a faint strain when I'm turning. It
doesn't sound at all like a bad pump. I just moved to my area and I don't
know a good place yet. Therefore, I would like to know what it could be
upon taking my baby in. Any advice at all would be sooo appreciated!
Thanks a million!

Check the spool valve (where the steering column enters the valve assembly)
for binding.
