Steering Problem

I noticed that when I break from high speeds at some points, the steering wheel becomes very hard to turn. It doesn't happen every single time but enough

When you brake from high speeds, you should be going in a straight line anyway. Is it always like this or recently?
Maybe you just didn't notice.

When you brake, weight transfers to the front tires making them harder to turn. Harder braking equals more weight transfer equals harder to turn. We will not be able to diagnose if there is a real problem or not via the internet. Get in there and look around for leaking fluid. Check the PS pump, reservoir, gearbox, hard-line connections, hose connections, etc... Any wetness is definitely not normal.
