Steering problem
1999 Chrysler Cirrus 6 cyl 114000 miles

When I have my foot on either petal and I turn the wheel it is very hard to turn. What does this mean?

Hi, Is this something that happened all of a sudden? I don't want you to get into trouble with your steering. Make sure you have 35 pounds of air in each tire, check the power steering fluid, and the belt that powers the pump before you do anything. You have over 100 thousand miles on the steering rack and it gets stiffer as your mileage getas higher, plus you don't have the same leverage on the wheel when only one foot is on the floor for leverage. Some cars have a feature that tightens up on the wheel as speed gets higher and that's another possible problem, are any warning lights on?
