Hi guys!

I need a person with some car smarts to help me out here. Today, completely out of nowhere, the power steering failed on my 2005 Pontiac Sunfire. For the entire day it was fine. Then suddenly, gone. We got stuck in some snow earlier and had to push out the car and turn the wheels back and forth to do that-it was immediately after that the power steering stopped. That was the only out of the ordinary event today. I can drive it fine, but it takes a ton of muscle to turn the wheel (obviously lol) and when I slow down (say from 80/km to 50/km) the steering wheel shakes like crazy.

We checked the belts and the fluid, both are fine. So I am not sure what the heck happened!! Please offer some insight. I am extremely paranoid about taking it to the garage as I don't trust 'em at Canadian Tire (all we have in town)....I need to go in there prepared with some ideas! If you could spare a moment and shed some light on this, I would truly appreciate it! THANK YOU!!!
 
you may have knocked off or broke the power steering belt .it man need to be put back on or replaced .
the shake could be snow or ice buildup on the inside of the rims or have them checked to make sure
thy are still in balance a weight may have came off.
