Default 05 lariat f150 power steering issue?

Hello, I recently noticed some stiffness in my power steering. I only notice the power steering tighten up when i begin to turn for about a 1/4 turn in either direction. It then seems to ease off and go back to normal. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

99.9% chance your steering shaft is binding. Check the u joints where the shaft goes into the steering rack, they seized all the time. Some have had luck freeing it up, I replace them as it will take years to happen again.
