Title: steering
Post by: The Doctor on March 22, 2006, 10:02:45 AM

Hi All
my steering has suddenly become very stiff.  checked the tyres, pressure okay :?: could it be lack of oil in the box, or something worn out? Any ideas guys :oops:
thanks

Probably the kingpins need greasing.

Also check the state of the rubbers on the track rod ends and oil level in steering box. Agree though most likely king pins. You should pump them full of grease twice a year.
