Heavy steering
« on: 12 December 2009, 18:00:34 »
My car has just developed heavy steering.I know that the idler arm is in need of doing and I have a brand new genuine one to pop on this weekend but surely it can be that? The fluid level is right, the serpentine belt is new, the pump has only done 55k. Is my rack on the fritz? (That's doneŁ150k) :question

are your tyers up to pressure, is your fluid upto the top mark, do you know when it was last changed (fluid), it could be your belt slipping.
