Why is my Suzuki Khybers steering stiff o r hard to turn, especially at low speeds?

The steering in my Khyber has become stiff and hard to turn, particularly when I’m moving at low speeds o r when I’m parking. The power steering fluid is at the correct level, so I’m not sure what’s causing this issue. Could it be a problem with the power steering pump, belt, o r steering fluid? How can I fix this problem?

If your Suzuki Khybers steering is stiff, especially at low speeds, the problem is likely related to the power steering system. The most common causes are a faulty power steering pump, a worn-out drive belt, o r low power steering fluid. If the power steering pump isnt providing enough pressure, the steering will feel heavy and hard to turn. Check the power steering fluid level to ensure its adequate. If the fluid is low, top it up, but if the problem persists, the issue may lie with the power steering pump o r the belt that drives it. Its advisable to have a mechanic inspect and, if necessary, replace the power steering pump o r the belt. If the fluid is contaminated o r has air bubbles, flushing the system and refilling it may help restore smooth steering.
