Only when i'm trying to park or going slow like with the brakes on my power steering is hard to turn. The fluid has no leaks and it's full, but the previous owner said a hose was replaced. It's been like this since i've had it.
Any suggestions?
I have a 2001 oldsmobile aurora v8.
My power steering becomes hard when i'm going slow, or parallel parking, but when I'm driving faster it's finenortan
Pump is not getting pressure to slave cylinder or the hydraulic unit is out assuming the pump is working. Maybe the new hose has a restriction?

Yeah, like everybody says, it's not working right. You've got a component worn out, either the pump or the rack. It has nothing to do with hoses or leaks. Any leak big enough to affect the actual hydraulic pressure would have already set your car on fire.
R.P. is mistaken - speed sensitive steering works exactly the opposite of what you're saying (just as you'd think. Who wants stiff steering when you're parking? Nobody).
the steering unit may be going out on it,this is how they do when they start going out,first they get hard to steer,id take it and have a good mechanic look at it ,and have him give you an opinion on it.more than likely its either the rack and pinion unit going bad or the pump is getting bad on it,either one will make it steer hard,good luck with it.
Go to a good shop and drain the fluid, check for metal in the dirty fluid, pump sounds like it is going or gone out.
OK, there are several variables that can cause what you are experiencing.
