hi Justine. There some moments when the steering wheelbecomes stiff and hard to turn. From irregular servicing, lack of fluid oil to low tyre pressure or bad wheelalignment, any of these could be the cause. ... Under normal circumstances when the car is in good condition, the steering wheel is always flexible when turning.11 Sep 2014
Possible causes for a stiff steering wheel are a loose or damaged power steering belt, low power steeringfluid levels, a damaged or leaking power steering rack or a broken power steering pump.
APPLY BRAKE AND MAKE SURE STEERING WHEEL IS CENTERED. IF IT IS PARKED SO THERE IS PRESSURE ON THE FRONT WHEELS AND HOLDING THE STEERING WHEEL HARD RIGHT OR LEFT IT WILL MAKE THE KEY VERY HARD TO TURN.
On many vehicles, the key locks the steering wheel. If the wheel is turned, it can keep the key from turning. While trying to turn the key, push the steering wheel hard to the right and if that doesn't work, push the steering wheel hard to the left.
Your steering wheel needs to be pulled hard either right or left to turn the key. Tug the steering wheel in one direction hard over and see if key will turn. If not try the other way.
Hi,
Intermittent hard power steering, at the begining of the turn of the steering wheel, once disturbed past the hard part, works normal.
Had fluid change, I notice a sensor, on the control block tower of the rack, is this at fault ? thanks buckleyeng.
jack up the front wheels one at a time, turn the steering wheel all the way to the right or left and turn the wheel by hand. i think you have a bad u-joint behind the front wheel(s). if you have a bad u-joint then the wheels won't turn smoothly.
