The steering gear needs to be lubricated: Lubricate steering gear parts as required.

The wheels are out of alignment: Have the wheels aligned.

A part of the steering linkage is damaged and doesn't not move freely: Replace steering gear parts as required.

Your steering box needs to be adjusted: Adjust steering box as required.

You have a problem with the power steering pump: Repair or replace power steering pump as required.
