| My Car Steering Is Very Stiff. by evuna(op): 10:03am On Nov 05, 2023 |
My car steering is very stiff. It's a 2007 Toyota Avensis. The steering fluid is full. I got someone to scan it but he said it's not allowing him to scan it. It's tough driving because I have to put so much effort to turn the wheels. Any suggestions and possible solutions? |

Steering pump is gone. Scrap it and replace it. I'm very sure it will be making one loud moaning noise. |

Do you know anyone who sells the original one? I'll just buy it and hand it over to my mechanic because he's likely not to buy brand new if I give him the money and there is no way I can tell. |

Op you have change steering pump and check if the steering rack wasn’t affected too. If you are in Lagos, go to Ladipo parts market. |
