- a hard steering wheel to turn is a common problem that can happen to any car ,even new models. but the solution might be very easy and cheap rather than changing power steering pump or the rack and pinion which will cost you lot of money. in this video I tried to give my own experience with this problem so anyone else could try it before even going to mechanics. enjoy the video

Note to all. This guy is CORRECT ! Try his fix, first, before you go shoveling out hundreds, if not thousands, on other power steering parts n labor. I started with STP spray penetrant lube on those rusted steering shaft U-joints (especially the rusted one under the hood), followed up with 80w90 gear oil forcefully worked into those steering U-joints he mentions, with a gloved hand. Followed by a liberal coating of bearing grease on top of that, further squeezed and worked into that rusted U-joint. (I've discovered that this applies to other manufacturers, but it's a 2002 Camry in my case.) Thanks QueefNada, you da man -- thank you for saving me big bucks at the local garage! 😃😃😃
Got same problem with my '96 Toyota RAV4, solved my stiff steering issue. Thanks man.....
I'm glad it helped. Be safe and have a great day ✌
Its ok to spray it with WD-40 but it will only clean the Steering wheel joint i recommend to use High Temperature grease it's ony 4 bucks a tube of grease at Walmart and you could use it on your Car doors as well comes in handy 😊
Thank you for the comment
You should really use a synthetic greese on those kind of parts .. Wd-40 will wear off pretty quick in those under-the-hood conditions
It should actually work to soften the old grease and should work for a while, although the better fix would be to take it apart and re grease there’s nothing wrong with this
Thanks for your tip, WD40 worked temporarily. But the synthetic grease like a charm, I also used a small painting brush to smear it out. 👍🏾
I thought u were meant to put penetrant and then lithium grease
Same problem with my Toyota FJ. A product called Loyd’s Moovit works best.(WD40 isn’t as good a lubricant and wears off too quickly) Loyd’s is a penetrating lubricant. Last a long time before you have to re-apply.
I thought I was looking a a really expensive bill to replace the power steering pump and/ or the rack and pinion. This worked like a charm and saved me thousands of $$$
@jeffskingley6042 thanks for the comment sir
Thank for helping. I’ll try tomorrow on my Honda city’s hard steering wheel since bought it used.
I hope It will work with you brother
@@TruckerPov I located and spray interior u-joint near driver cockpit and it did works. now I trying to locate exterior u-joint steering wheel . maybe i need to remove driverside wheel to locate it. Your instruction works. big thans.
I'm so glad it worked out for you. Thank you 😊
It has helped alot. Thanks so much!
Thks for the info i try it on my 02 Sequoia and it truly wk.❤
I'm glad it helped you brother. Be safe and have a good day
Thanks brother, I'm very thankful, it helped for 80% 90% percent for the better.. ❤️👊🏾💯
Damnm why didnt i try this before. Thaks!
You are the man!! This really works!! But I used PB blaster
Glad it worked for you
Ha! That's the very reason we didn't buy the Toyota Camery in '98! Their demo car had stiff steering.
1k thanks for this suggestion. Trying it on my Chevy 2008 Impala, but can't seem to access those locations. Any suggestions will be most appreciated.
me too man, i have a 2011 impala.
u may have to remove plastic housing under the steering wheel

Excellent advise given in this Video.
Glad it was helpful!
Now will the wd-40 dry up since its not a lubricant? Dont want to make it worse. Anyone had any problems a yr later?
Standard WD40 is a solvent not a lubricant. Its used for cleaning not lubricating.
Is this able to resolve the stiffness problem in a 1999 Fiat Uno ?
I m not sure brother but you can give it a shot
@@TruckerPov appreciate you man, I’ll give it a try .
Let’s try.I have the same problem.👍🏼
Yes brother give it a try . I will cost you just 6 dollars in your Walmart. I had that problem and I was about to sell my car cause if it's something else wrong I wouldn't be happy to spend thousands of dollars in a mechanic shop so I asked a friend and he brought me that product, we sprayed it to the places shown in the video and it got fixed right away ,that's why I shared this video with people I hope it helps someone
@@TruckerPov my steering wheel make noise when I steering. Is it gonna help ?
@@ashrafsiddiquee3190 it might help. You can try it my steering wheel was hard and make noise when turning .I applied that spray to it and It worked
@@TruckerPov ill diffenetly try. My steering is smooth but noisy.
Thanks
Will this work on my Hyundai Getz 2010 too?? Need advice 😊
Brother I would say I’m not sure
But if you see the same parts on your car I would just try it I don’t think it will hurt
Thank you bro!
Ty I’m going to try this I just replaced pump and rack&pinion but got hard steering after new rack . Going through rubber line sections next
Did it work for you I’m purchasing a tundra soon and it has heavy steering
Huh! That's one way to rule out the rack & the steering pump!
I also did both of the replacement but my steering is still hard …..what was the problem did u fix it and if yes what was the problem
@@Reyzar. Okay - I _have_ definitely heard (for this vehicle, & Toyotas often) - that mystery stiff steering can actually be the universal joint in the steering column - the one near the rack.
I think that there are only two in the entire column, but the first one is 'inside' the car, allowing for the up/down steering-wheel adjustment - it's a very clean environment, so apparently does not fail much.
The one in the engine bay however gets dirty, attacked, corroded - & stiff.
Many have reported that spraying it hard, & 'into' the joints with even WD40 - has fully fixed the problem - at least temporarily - & if it does even do that - you've at least 100% diagnosed the problem.
Apparently one way to tell if it is this universal joint - is if the stiffness is 'notchy' - as opposed to evenly stiff throughout the movement.
Thanks for your Video . I just try to spray both area as you show . Lets see and I will try to drive later and tell you my result
Did it work?
Power steering oil needs to change be oil
Bro I have acdelco I have to do or not?? Please reply
Actually I don't know man .I used dw40 it's just 6 dollars
Can i I used regular wd-40 4$ one!lol
Yes you can try it it might work
If I don't have money to buy this can I use Greece olso
You can give it a try 😉anyways it will hurt nothing in the car
Anyways that product cost just 5 dollars
I don't think going to Greece will help your car much
Which country does this come from ???
Usa
