Heavy Steering Wheel

When i am parking, the steering wheel gets so stiff i have to use both my hands and alot of strength to move the steering wheel. Anyone out there that can help me out with this, could it be a bad pump ???

Check your power steering fluid level maybe.

low idle (but then you would feel that)
weak steering pump
rack loosing pressure
something clogged limiting fluid flow

Replace power steering fluid. I did that a couple of times already and the steering effort always get lower.
