Why is my Suzuki Everys steering wheel hard to turn, especially at low speeds?

Ive noticed that the steering on my Suzuki Every becomes unusually stiff when Im driving slowly o r parking. Is this a common issue in Pakistani models? Could it be due to power steering failure, o r is it something else like low fluid o r a faulty pump?

A stiff o r hard steering wheel is a common complaint among Suzuki Every owners in Pakistan, especially with older o r imported models. Here are the main reasons:

Low Power Steering Fluid:
The most common cause. If the fluid level is low, it affects the hydraulic pressure needed to assist steering. Check the reservoir and refill with the recommended fluid.

Worn o r Faulty Power Steering Pump:
If the pump isn’t generating enough pressure, the steering effort increases, especially at lower speeds when more assistance is needed.

Leaking o r Damaged Power Steering Rack:
If there’s a leak o r internal damage in the steering rack, it can affect responsiveness and make turning hard.

Drive Belt Issues:
If the belt driving the power steering pump is loose, worn, o r broken, the pump will not function properly.

Cold Weather o r Thick Fluid:
In some areas of Pakistan during winter, thickened fluid o r cold start conditions can temporarily affect steering.

Solution:
Check fluid levels, inspect for leaks, and have the pump and belts checked by a qualified mechanic.
