What Causes Heavy Steering Wheel When Driving?

[VonFaith]

The reasons for a heavy steering wheel are as follows: 1. Dirty power steering fluid can cause the steering wheel to become increasingly heavy, and a lack of power steering fluid can also make the steering wheel feel heavier. If the issue is with the power steering fluid, it should be promptly added or replaced; 2. If there is a fault in the electric power steering system, check whether the fuse is blown, or if there is an open circuit or a short to ground in the wiring; 3. When the electric power steering is repeatedly turned at a standstill or at low speeds, the steering wheel places a significant load on the power system, which can easily cause the steering gear to enter high-temperature protection mode, resulting in heavy steering. It will return to normal after cooling down, which is a normal phenomenon.
