you should not be breaking a sweat to turn your car
The steering system is your vehicle's primary interface, connecting you to the road and allowing you to navigate with confidence. When this system falters, your safety and that of other road users can be at risk. The steering system of your car is everything from the steering wheel to the steering shaft, rack and pinion (also known as the gearbox), all the way to the linkage which connects to the wheels themselves. The most common issue you will see with a steering system is a linkage issue. The tie rod or rod end is that main linkage piece that helps you maneuver the vehicle. But when those tie rods wear down, it is harder to maintain proper alignment and eventually lose control of the steering.
If you are experiencing difficulty handling the steering in your car, it is important to get it checked out by a professional as soon as possible. It is dangerous for yourself and others on the road if you lose control of your vehicle due to a steering issue.
