What Causes Stiff Steering in BMW?
1 Answers
BMW steering wheel stiffness can be attributed to the following reasons: Lack of Power Steering Fluid: Check if there's any power steering fluid leakage, which usually leaves black oil traces. Timely repair and fluid replenishment are necessary. Insufficient Lubrication in Steering Column: If the steering column is stiff, applying some lubricant may help. Alternatively, the issue might be caused by floor mats obstructing the steering column. To diagnose, disconnect the steering gear and manually rotate the universal joint. If stiffness persists, replacement is required. Inadequate Tire Pressure: This could be due to low tire pressure, mud accumulation on tires, or impact with objects. It's advisable to have a thorough inspection at a repair shop to ensure driving safety.
