steering prob

hey guys i have a problem. i bought my 89 coupe about a month ago now. problem has been since i bought it. ok when i turn right its cool but when i turn leftt without stoping the steering wheel will get very stiff and hard to turn. feels kinda like i dont have power steering.

i dont know whats going on and was wondering if anyone has had this problem, now when im stoped and i turn the wheel it turns fine.

if anybody knows what it can be please let me know. thanks

the belt could be slipping. or you could be low on p/s fluid.
look into those two first if you haven't already.

Check the tie-rods on that side, maybe bent or something? You steering rack bushings may need replacing too.
