As you drive the steering tightens. You may need to check your power-steering fluid or put air in your tires.
Normally it is a tire out of balance. Can also be a bent wheel.
It is very hard to turn the steering wheel and/or a whining or squealing noise when you turn the steering wheel.
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.
The steering wheel warning light will come on in a vehicle when a problem has been detected within the steering system. This can include low power steering fluid or incorrect pressure.
Because the clockspring is having a problem
1 of 2 things or both, alignment or balance.
You either have no/low power steering fluid in your car, or there is some other problem with the power steering, such as a leak in the tube.
A front suspension system has excessive steering effort and rapid steering wheel return. The most likely cause of this problem is
Do you have a tilt steering wheel ?? If so then more then likely the wires are shorted out where the wheel tilts. Common problem.
If the steering wheel has radio controls on the wheel, there could be a problem in the wiring. When the wires connect electrically it will cause stations to change.
If the steering wheel spins freely but the wheels don't turn, the steering shaft (which runs from the steering wheel, into the engine compartment, and down to the steering box) probably came apart. Usually there are one or more joints in the steering shaft, to allow it to angle around obstructions in the engine compartment. It may be that the shaft separated from one of these joints. Find the steering shaft in the engine compartment and see if it's continuous all the way down to the steering box. Also see if when you turn the steering wheel, if the shaft turns also. If it doesn't, then there's a problem with the steering wheel's mounting to the shaft. At the steering wheel, the shaft is usually cut with a bunch of little notches, which the steering wheel hub slides onto. If these notches have gotten stripped, then the hub has nothing to grip, and the wheel will spin free without moving the steering shaft.
If your steering wheel is hard to turn, and you have checked to see that the belt is tight, and that you have steering fluid, the problem could be your pump. It might also be the compressor.
