Tough steering...

Post by murphymanuk » Wed Apr 02, 2008 8:42 am

I was just wondering what a possible diagnoses is for my steering issue.

From a cold start steering to the left seems very tough and to the right slightly also. Steering seems ok after a period of driving as she 'warms up'.

Is there any common problems/features i should know about? And is this problem easily remedied?

ATF is cheap so get out your haynes manual and bleed the system or get some power steering fluid conditioner and stop leak combined , slick 50's version is about £6 from halfords etc.
