I’m sure I know the answer is my power steering pump is going out but wanted to get everyone’s opinion first.

Just today I went to pull into a parking lot and steering got really stiff. I pull into the parking lot and park and try turning the wheel and getting a lot of vibration and kick back in the wheel. Back out of the parking spot and same issue.
As soon as I start rolling in drive the issue disappears. Anything less then just rolling and there is resistance and vibration.
I checked the fluid and the belt that’s all fine. Doesn’t appear to be a leak and there is no noise when turning at speed or a stop. There was a burning smell under the hood when I first checked the issue.
I’m guessing it’s the power steering pump but wanted to get other opinions before I order a new pump. Maybe just the pulley and not the whole pump?
