Okay I do *not* have a ton of experience with 9-5's, but it's possible this might be relevant...
Years ago on an OG900, I was driving and the alternator light came on and the engine started to heat up - classic symptoms of a belt failure.
Opened the hood with the car still running and was surprised to see the belt sitting intact, right where it's supposed to be, and everything turning.
Long story short: the pulley on the crankshaft consists of an inner part (attached to the crankshaft) and an outer part (the pulley) separated by rubber. The rubber had become detached (combination of oil leakage and age), but the thing didn't come apart - the pulley still turned but much slower than it was supposed to (it was slipping on the rubber part). Everything looked fine, but everything driven by the belt (which in your case would include power steering) was not going fast enough to work right.
Replacement of the crankshaft pulley fixed it right up.
