If you’re having trouble turning your

steering wheel, it’s most likely an issue with the power steering system. The best thing to do is bring your car to a repair shop. Have the technicians there assess and fix the problem.
There are a lot of causes for difficulty turning your steering wheel. You could be dealing with any of the following:
  • Bad steering pack
  • Leaking fluid
  • Damaged serpentine belt
  • Pump malfunction
Any of these causes should be properly addressed by a trained mechanic. If you’re hesitant to take your car in because you’re worried about the bill, check out the
