What to Do When the Car Steering Wheel Becomes Heavy?

[Louise]

Solutions for a heavy car steering wheel are as follows: 1. If the steering wheel becomes heavy while driving, slow down, pull over promptly, and check for oil pipe leaks. 2. Inspect the vehicle's tire pressure. Low tire pressure can make the steering wheel heavy, and air leaks can also cause this issue. Inflate the tires if necessary. 3. If there is excessive play in the front suspension system, replace the lower control arm after inspection. 4. Check if the power steering pump belt is too loose. Tighten the belt if it is loose. Also, check if the fluid is too dirty, which can impair flow. Typically, replace the fluid every 2 years or 60,000 kilometers.
