What type of noises is it making? squealing, squeaking, knocking, grinding, whirring? Where are the noises coming from, the pump or the rack?

If it's just tough to move you may want to consider flushing the system and putting new fluid with maybe the Seafoam cleaner for the PS rack. Make sure your belt is good and that the pump is not binding too.

Yeah you can bleed it, I forgot the exact procedure, but the wheels are up in the air and you move the steering wheel back and forth, similar to the full flush. But if you're going to that much trouble you're probably better doing a full flush. My fluid went from pitch black to clear (what it's supposed to be)
