Power Steering Pump??
I have been having some issue's with my power steering pump squealing @ lower RPM and feeling under powered... Anyone else had this issue? If so what was the solution. This is a 2003 with 86k miles..... I'm going to assume that the pump itself is going bad but maybe someone else has had this issue....

You might also want to try out a new serp belt & tensioner before replacing the pump. The PS pump is driven off the serp belt & IIRC that tensioner uses a non-adjustable spring to hold tension. If the spring has gotten weak your belt could start to squeal.
Oh - I assume you have checked the PS fluid level...

yes i have checked the fluid and its fine but the belt doesnt actually squeal its the pump itself. Its no issue if i just add some rpm by blipping the throttle it steers fine. Also no its stock wheels... I think i may try to do a flush soon and put new fluid in
