Vehicle's steering power goes out when driven for long periods of time. Dealer has tried to repair the vehicle.

Steering tends to hang,rattle & grinding noise,hard turning left or right. Dealer checked all suspension,said steering box was bad. I know the vechile has a lot of milage but I have never had a gear box go bad under normal driving conditions. The steering has tried to lock up several times(felt a catch in the wheel) but released pressure then was ok. Had dealer check for problem. Could not duplicate. Would cost $500. 00 to replace steering box.
