What is the most common cause of heavy steering?

Correct Answer

Under-inflated tyres.

Explanation: Heavy steering is when a driver needs to use more effort than usual to turn the steering wheel; this may be as a direct result of under-inflated tyres. Check your tyre pressures but be aware there may be other causes of heavy steering such as low power steering fluid level. Seek advice from a competent person and have this investigated immediately.
