Steering problem
1996 Toyota Corolla Front Wheel Drive Automatic

After I drive for an hour the steering wheel starts to jam and become stiffer. And it becomes very hard to steer. This problem does not occur when the engine is cool. I have changed the power steering pump thrice- but no change. Please help me.

Check and make sure the rack is bolted down tightly and there are no leaks at rack and pressure/return hose.
Raise car and check steering components, ball joints, control arms, bushings, tie rods.
