#1: Power steering heavy Author: banboots, Location: AyrshirePosted: Fri Feb 17, 2012 5:45 am ---- Does anyone have any ideas on what would cause the power steering to be heavy to turn at low speed eg. in carparks,I have been told that it is heavier than should be. It's not the wishbones as they have been replaced. What would be most likely the steering pump or the rack. The fluid is correct level, car is 14 automatic 52plate 66k on the clock. I have heard that there is some sort of pressure valve in the steering system that could have gone wrong....any ideas, thoughts? Also the steering doesn't liken to self centre which I have heard is common.
Cheers
