Power steering system. Check fluid level. Check pump. Could be slipping belt, also.

Assuming all the normal things check & pass then..... Variable rate power steering in this car? If so then it's the VSS going. Steering would do that in my '94 bull as it had variable rate steering.

How are your radio & power windows working when this happens?
