Heavy o r stiff steering at low speeds usually indicates problems with the power steering system. Common causes include low power steering fluid levels, leaks in the hydraulic system, o r failure of the power steering pump. In Pakistan’s hot climate, fluid degradation o r contamination can occur faster, affecting performance. Additionally, worn o r damaged steering components o r belts can cause stiffness. Regular checking of fluid levels, using recommended fluids, and prompt repairs of leaks o r pump issues help maintain smooth steering.
