power steering not working properly

[yewwoodtree]

So i recently jacked up my 1990 2.9l ranger and put 32's on her. It used to have 215's. when im driving the ps operates fine. But when i try to steer when i am stopped or am going really slow it is very stiff and squeals. It used to work fine with the smaller tires. Its got 383km on her so somethings worn out. what do you guys think? pump? steering box? or something else?
Thanks

Sounds like maybe the pump belt slipping. Have you checked it's tightness?

what air pressure you running in the 32's?
