erbs 42 1 Cars Posted December 23, 2020 My steering goes from easy to turn and then quite stiff I think it may be the UJ, can these be cleaned up and re-greased? Also how difficult are these to take off the car, mine is a phase 1 B plate non PAS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ozymandis 96 Posted December 23, 2020 Get some rags under it and souse the whole thing in oil then work the lock to lock with it on axle stands. Do that a few times in a week and it will free up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
309SRiguy 15 Posted December 24, 2020 Another source of stiffness increasing with turn can be worn or old bearings at the top of the struts. Steering can get very heavy. Noticeably stiff without PAS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Telf 222 2 Cars Posted December 24, 2020 I had this issue with my GR. Cleaned the UJ. Soaked in oil then applied grease. No more problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
