2002 Impala stiff steering?

Very hard to turn all the time. Even on the freeway.

PS fluid dirty, but full.

No odd noises.

The belt is tight.

Bad pump, or bad rack and pinion?

Which is most likely bad?

    it could be the pump or the rack or both . the fluid turns dark because of the rack wearing, the rack is aluminium.sometimes flushing the system will help,but it,s time consuming and doesn't always work

    sounds like the pump cause there ain't no rack and pinion on power steering
