steering problem Options

My steering wheel does not want to turn. When I turn the steering wheel i feel it resisting and a few moments later it turns where i want it too. It feels like the car has no power steering for a moment and feels like i get it back and then it goes out again. Thats what it feels like when i turn. What could it be? is the power steering broken?

so yesterday i flush the power steering fluid and put in new fluid and the car is still like that. So when ever I start up the car whether the car be sitting for an hour or 2 or if i just shut off the engine and start it again the steering wheel is resisting and then gets loose and resist again. But the thing is when I drive it for a min or 2 it feels like the power steering is coming back to normal. i was wondering do u think it could be Im getting air in the system somewhere?

Or from what i heard it might be my rack and pinion cuz my car got hit on the front driver side wheel 2 times already.

I also noticed that when i had the front wheels in the air steering was perfectly normal but when i put it back on the ground it would happen again the tightness and the looseness.
