Any unusual noises heard when turning (comparing your brother's car to yours)? There are several issues that can cause stiff steering. Here is a list of possible causes: Low tire pressure, stiff front ball-joints, stiff outer tie-rod ends, binding steering gear, binding steering shaft, slipping drive belt, low power steering fluid and a weak power steering pump. Let me know if this answers your question or if you have any more questions. Talk to you soon, TY
