Since we are talking about hydraulic fluid here, which is responsible for the hydraulic power that keeps your car under control on the road. A properly working pump is always important.   What happens is with time, power steering pumps begin to reduce their performance as these aren’t designed to perform ideally lifetime. However, the good news is that your power steering pump will show some symptoms before failing, so you have ample time to call to action between the steering pump and pump failure. 

Power steering pump failure symptoms
