What are common power steering issues in the Vauxhall Zafira Life?

I've been experiencing steering wheel stiffness and difficulty turning in my Vauxhall Zafira Life. What could be causing this and how can I resolve it?

It sounds like you may have a power steering fluid leak or a faulty power steering pump. I would recommend checking the fluid levels and inspecting the system for any leaks. If the fluid levels are low, top them up and see if the stiffness improves. If not, it's likely that you will need to have your power steering pump replaced.

It's possible that your power steering belt is loose or worn out. This can cause difficulty with steering, especially at low speeds. I would suggest checking the belt and replacing it if necessary.

You may also want to have your power steering rack and pinion checked for any damage or wear and tear. If this component is faulty, it could be causing the stiffness in your steering wheel.
