Have you checked the power steering fluid?
You forgot to start the engine maybe?
Probably a component of the power steering system has failed, or ran out of fluid.
If your power steering fluid is full, check the belt on power steering pump to see if it's loose. If not, odds are your pump may be failing. You could also have a tire very low on pressure. Probably pump
Check your lower ball joints. They are notorious for going bad. I'd then check the king pins, too.
The most common fault here will be power fluid pressure failure. E.g. Lack of fluid inn reservoir? Pump failed? Drive belt failed/loose? Or a joint seizing.
start with dried bely check. Then fluid level. Unless we ok with checking ball joints etc? Then a garage is best place to have a repair affected.
- Stiff power steering problems? My car has been giving me some steering problems lately. When i start the car in the morning, the steering feels normal and light. But after driving for a small period of time, it becomes really heavy and difficult to use 1 handed. Any reason as to what could cause this? PS. The car is a 2004 Ford Falcon(Australia) Cheers, Reece
- Steering wheel becoming stiff even when driving forward, why? My 2005 ford freestyle steering wheel was making noise the power steering fluid was leaking had the pump changed, but now a squeling noise is coming from the front and the steering wheel is becomin stiff when turning… What can this be?
- Why is it that ford mustangs feel so stiff and bulky? Every mustang Gt from the years 79 up to 2004 feel like they have stiffer pedals suspension and steering than other cars I've driven why is this?
- Will newer model (03-07) Ford Super Duty headlights fit on a 2000 Super Duty? I was wanting to put Oracle headlights on my truck, but it's for the 03-07 6.0L Super Duty's. It's the only kind I can find that close enough to my trucks lights. But I was wondering if the headlights will fit right into my 2000 F-250 Super Duty.
