Default WTF happened here?

ok.. so when it gets cold.. my power steering is very sluggish.. i assumed the fluid was just cold and needed to warm up.. it would be perfectly fine after like 3 min of driving.. no big deal...

so today i go to start up my car.. and my steering wheel started to turn left on its own... really fast.. i tried to grab it and stop it.. ****** had a ton of pressure behind it.. when it got to full left lock and something started squealing under the hood... so i quickly turned the car off... wtf is going on?

Check the Radius Bar, when you shifted did the car jerk to one side? if it did its prolly the radius bar.

Sometimes in P/S racks the spool valve will stick only allowing travel one way. It will bind and create more pressure. I'd be thinking your p/s rack is on the way out.
Could be wrong just a guess.
