Power Steering
Need some advice please.
My steering feels heavy first thing in the morning and only starts to feel normal after about five to ten minutes of driving. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Paul 855T5 |

RE: Power Steering
The accessories belt tensioner can become seized. To free it off it needs a couple of drops of oil and the correct tool to work it from side to side. The belt could need replacing if its stretched to excess.
Things are going to get a bit expensive if its not just a slipping belt. I'm assuming you have checked the oil level? simon. |

RE: Power Steering
May sound silly but have you checked the front tyre pressures ??
Had the same trouble with my van for work, took it back to the dealer and looked a right *@"+# when they pumped the front tyres up. BJ 850R |
