Hey got in the car the other day and power steering is very stiff on low revs, one im going it runs normally ? Any ideas on what it may be ? Dont really drive the car to hard so nothing to do with bad handling.

Low fluid is likely first check.

Low fluid is likely first check.

Fluid is all good and checked the hose and all seems fine

It's one of the problems with wear in hydraulic power steering systems.

In GM cars this is usually attributable to wear related to the spool valve operation in the steering rack.

I would take the car to a specialist and get their advice on the best fix for this problem on your car.

Could try bleeding it up with some new power steering fluid?

What colour is the old fluid? I'd try some new fluid as above, sometimes it works wonders.

Most likely up for a pump, not uncommon.
