Going to move you to the Stock Problems/Issues section.

The power steering pump is electrical but as the pump was slowing down and the car was running rough I am wondering if your belt is slipping. When did you change the belt or replace the tensioner last?

Sounds like you have a voltage problem like and alternator or p/s pump. But need to do some diagnosis to be sure.
