I also had problems with the steering on a 98. About a year ago, as the weather got colder (live in CT), the steering would whine and strain while turning at low speeds, especially when the car was cold. I brought it to the dealer's attention and they replaced the power steering fluid pump. It's been fine ever since.

Hope this helps,
Shaun

Default check your power steering fluid.

if you have to top up often. Shaun is probably right about the power steering pump. i had to have mine replaced a couple of months ago. steering was whinning everytime i turned it.

good luck.
