What are the causes of heavy steering?

[HaileyRose]

The causes of heavy steering are: 1. Insufficient power steering fluid; 2. Damaged bearings in the steering gear or steering column; 3. Lack of lubrication or damage to the tie rod ball joint; 4. Insufficient front tire pressure; 5. The meshing clearance between the steering gear pinion and rack is too small. A series of devices used to change or maintain the direction of a car's movement, whether forward or backward, are called the car steering system. The function of the car steering system is to control the direction of the car's movement according to the driver's intention. The car steering system is crucial for driving safety, so the components of the car steering system are referred to as safety parts. The car steering system is divided into two major categories: mechanical steering system and power steering system.
