over the past few days the steering on my GSI has got a little heavy. the only way i can discribe it is that it feels like my tires are flat.
right, ive checked the following things:
- tyre pressure
- power steering fluid
- suspension?

i haven had chance to have a proper look under it but can anyone else make any suggestions. i feel the powersteering maybe going abit as when you turn into a road and come out of it the wheel struggles to feed back to center. any help very very much appreciated.
