More power steering problems

About a month ago I replaced my power steering pump because the old one finally went. When I installed the new one I filled it up to the full line on the dip stick and checked it over the next couple days to week to make sure it got all the air bubbles out of the lines and it had the proper amount of fluid. I has been running fine until this morning when I was trying to turn into my parking spot at work when I lost power steering completely. Once I got in the parking stall I popped the hood and checked the fluid and it was just below full. There were no noises coming from anywhere, and I cannot see fluid leaking out anywhere. Does anyone have a clue to what the problem could be?
 

Just a guess. Maybe a loose piece of rubber floating around in the system. I had it happen to me in a loader that i was operating. it came from the inside of a hydrolic hose and raised hell for quite a while till we found it.
 
That's a thought I had. I was wondering if part of the bearings that got shredded up somehow got into the lines. After work when I was driving home it wasn't hard. When I got home I looked at my wheels head on and one was straight and you could tell the other side was turned a little bit. I am going to go get an alignment and hopefully that should help.
