Default problem with steering, sometimes it feels hard like power assist turns off.....why?

I have had a problem with my steering ever since I bought my CQ in june. It had a minor leak which I didnt notice until it had major stearing groans and I found out it was really low on fluid. so I had to run to the gas station and get some. I after put some steering hose softener and leak stopper in and now I dont have a leak at all. but it still groans a little at slow speeds and it also very seldomly feels really hard and I have to wrestle the steering wheel to turn.

is this a problem with my steering rack or is it hydrolic pump or is it just air bubbles in my steering system?
