What causes the sudden heaviness in the Wuling Hongguang S steering wheel?

[HannahMarie]

The reasons for the heavy steering wheel in the Wuling Hongguang S are as follows: Insufficient power steering fluid: Power steering fluid is a medium oil used in the car's power steering pump, which helps transmit steering force and provides cushioning. The power steering fluid needs to be replaced regularly, and checked for leaks. When the power steering fluid is insufficient, the steering wheel will feel heavy and stiff. Low tire pressure: Low tire pressure increases the contact area between the tires and the road surface, leading to greater friction and making steering more difficult, resulting in a heavy steering wheel, which is not conducive to driving safety. Steering gear or power steering pump failure: The steering gear and power steering pump also affect the car's steering. Any failure in these two critical components can cause steering difficulties. Issues such as universal joints, chassis suspension stabilizer bars, or plain bearings should not be overlooked.
