Possibly a power steering pump. Have you had any problems with losing fluid? If so, it could be a leak in a seal in your rack and pinion. Can you hear your pump when you try to turn it? Its one of those two things. Either the pump, or the rack. If your not leaking any clear fluid around your front axle, then I would lean to the pump. Let us know what you find out.

euroc is correct, unless you at some point disconected the powersteering pump or ran it dry, then good luck purging the system, it is a pain in the rear
