Default Ford Focus ST170 Steering

Hi there everyone.

I've had my 2004 ford focus st170 for almost a year now and I'm loving it. However, my steering has become increasingly stiff over the last few months. It's now not a very nice drive as it takes effort to drive with one hand on top of the steering wheel. Not smooth and light at all like it should be. I have taken it to the garage and had it looked at. The garage said they checked out every aspect of the steering and couldn't find anything wrong with it. Fluid is up to the right level. Even though the garage says there is nothing wrong with my car, there must be something happening that is causing this stiff steering. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Tom

We recently had a problem with ours, replacing the fluid cured it. It had broken down the reservoir was full but the fluid was useless.

Its the cheapest thing to try first
