A bad CV joint can contribute to steering stiffness, but it is not the sole cause. Faulty CV joints may create vibrations or clicking noises, particularly during turns, and can lead to a loss of power transfer, which might affect steering response. However, steering stiffness is more commonly associated with issues in the Power Steering system, such as low fluid levels, a failing pump, or problems with the steering rack. It's important to diagnose the specific issue to determine the exact cause of the stiffness.

have someone move the steering wheel to the left and right a few inches repeatedly while you watch each joint in motion, they should be firm and snug in the joint, there should not be any play in the joint, if so the joint is bad.
