sounds like your power steering pump needs to be replaced.

when my power steering pump went out thats what it was like, no power steering at lower rpms/speeds. i would have to rev it up to get steering to be managable. i replaced the pump (bought a used one off a friend) and all was better

 

you didnt hold it at lock for a long time did you?
people burn up the pumps more in the winter because they play in the snow and do donuts and hold the wheel too long and bye bye pump

 

you know this is a very good possibility....... iwas the freakin drift king over the past few weeks
dang, i didnt think that it was that easy to burn up the pump

 

yeah, thats how mine burned up

 

well if you hold it there for five mins or longer do you think any good can come of it?

 

ditto here. I was spinning on a dime in dirt not long after I bought my wrx. replaced the pump.
