more power steering questions

So I'm not ready to admit that I need a new rack yet.
Symptoms: steering is stiff/heavy kind of randomly - not like 100% manual but not full power either. Sometimes it's normal.
I guess the problem is that I don't understand how the power steering system works and would like to eliminate items from the equation if possible before I dive in and replace something that might not correct the problem.
so I have three questions.
I'm not losing any fluid at all so would that mean that it's not my rack or can a rack fail without losing fluid?
Since it's intermittent, can I eliminate the U-joints and bearings in the column?
Is there a way to determine whether or not it's the pump? I think I'd rather change the pump than the rack.
Thanks!!
