Possibly faulty pump, low fluid level, bad belt, rack and pinion, electrical surge and failure or simply a piece of junk car with a computer problem
Power steering fluid helps your steering wheel turn easily. If you have dirty power steering fluid, it may be hard to turn your steering wheel while driving.
I need more information
Power steering pump failing.
power steering is easier and you do not have to turn the wheel as hard as manually.
From what I understand, power steering in cars (vehicles) is simply to make steering the car easier. If it were not for power steering, you would have to use a lot more muscle to turn the steering wheel than you use when you have that power steering in place!
Hard power steering means there is little to no fluid left in the system. The power steering system should be flushed and checked for leaks.
Low on power steering fluid. Loose or missing drive belt. Faulty power steering pump. Faulty power steering box.
A loose power steering belt or the power steering pump has failed or the power steering fluid reservoir is empty because of a leak in the system.
Because your power steering pump is robbing power/ RPM'S from your engine. This is common in all vehicles with power steering.
A steering wheel may be hard to turn because the power steering fluid might be low. It also could be that there is problem with the power steering pump.
Perhaps low power steering fluid Perhaps power steering pump is going bad Perhaps low power steering fluid Perhaps power steering pump is going bad
They're the same thing. Technically, "power-assisted steering" is more correct, since the car is helping you turn the steering wheel, and not doing it all for you.
