my power steering has been messing up slightly(still easily driveable) for about a month now, and recently(today finished it) its been impossible to drive.

my problem is my steering wheel pulls ALL the way to the left, untill it wont turn anymore, and this is without me touching it. in order to move it to the right i have to pull with both hands as hard as i possibly can, and it takes several maneuvers to make a turn. thus making it impossible to drive to another location other than my driveway.

my question is WHAT is wrong with my car and HOW can i fix it? its got more than enough power steering fluid, so we can go ahead and eliminate that, but its beyond power steering i think. AHHH help please.

the car is a 1997 eagle talon tsi awd. and im not located in atlanta. power steering pump is my diagnosis but who knows?
