ok here i go. when i make a right hand turn my power steering starts to fight back and makes a whiney sound, this only happens when making right hand turns and while slighty excelerating, i have checked for air, tire rubbing and the tires in general, also belts are brand knew and have good tension, what else should i check

sorry about previous post not being so clear, but i appreciate the responses please help

Only turning right you say?

its probably something rubbing against your wheel, might want to check for any excessive wear on the inside.
