BMW steering wheel can be adjusted if it's too heavy. Power steering belt: This situation is caused by the aging or slipping of the power steering belt. At this time, the power steering belt can be replaced or the tightness of the belt can be adjusted; High temperature will cause the viscosity of the power steering fluid to decrease and the pressure to decrease, which will make the steering wheel heavier. Oil leakage: Check whether there is oil leakage in the power steering pump, power steering oil reservoir, power steering oil pipe, steering gear and other components, and replace the relevant components; Check whether there is sufficient lubrication between the steering column and the universal joint. If necessary, applying butter can achieve the lubrication effect.
