Heavy steering on Peugeot 308 (8 years old car)

[Littlegreenyoda]

Hi,

 

Just bought a used Peugeot 308 (8 years old) and realized the steering wheel is very heavy especially when parking.

 

It’s so bad that my arms ache after reversing into a lot.

 

Any idea why it’s like that?

Power Steering pump leak.

Check the reservoir to see how much left. Top up and monitor. If level goes down fast, bring for repair

If everything is okay, you need to train on your bicep.

 

My wife previously also complain BMW steering very heavy during parking.

Did you use (the) force ?

Bro same model as your ride.

 

If you are used to the jap cars steering weight this would seem a lot heavier and takes some getting used to,

 

I have a Camry and a Pug and everytime I switch over I always feel it takes relatively more effort on parking.

 

You will get used to it

Thanks a lot bros!

 

Guessed my force was weak in this 308 and need to go practice more. Haha!

 

Seems like it’s supposed to be that heavy! I’m too used to driving Japanese cars.

the old car may not have power steering system, practise more become stronger

First of all, please confirm is it power steering car? If no then need to change the steering. If yes, then need to check the steering pump leakage from good mechanic.

These days still got no power steering cars? 

 

Is it your tyres no air?
