Ok so was driving today and the steering was super stiff. Like you could only turn the wheel a quarter each way stiff. The steering came back once and a few times and then went out again. Never had this issue on a car before. Also when you make a very sharp turn (i.e. parking) the car makes a loud popping noise, might have to do with the issue. Anyways what could be causing the steering to go out?

I would get your car home and the front end up on jack stands and visually check your steering components. If you have a helper then have a person turn the steering wheel while you inspect it.
