Help another power steering question

Recently i've noticed the power steering in my Challenger has been acting up.It is fine for a while and then it feels very unresponsive or "floaty", then goes back to normal after 5 min or so.Any adjustment I can do to solve the problem or is the box on the way out?

if the box is old then you most likley have either air entering the unit, or it is worn out. if it is fairly new then there is air getting into the system thru the pump. also could be a pump problem, depends on how old the system is.

Might want to check it the fluid is foaming at operating temp. Could be time for a rebuild.
