i had my power steering fail b4. Usually there is a loud weird sound that appears when your turn all the way. I'v actually had my steering completely stop working during mid turn and luckily i was driving in a small road and not the high way... My cuz tells me not to fully turn the wheel all the way and force it on a turn to prevent premature failure from the power steering.
