What can I do if the steering wheel in my Vauxhall Crossland is too stiff?

I've noticed that the steering wheel in my Vauxhall Crossland is becoming increasingly difficult to turn, especially when making sharp turns. What could be causing this issue and what steps can I take to address it?

It's possible that your power steering fluid levels are low. Check the reservoir and if necessary, top it up with the appropriate fluid recommended in your owner's manual.

Another potential cause could be a worn out steering component, such as the ball joints or tie rods. Have these checked and replaced if needed by a qualified mechanic.

If none of the above solutions seem to be the issue, it's possible that there is a problem with the power steering pump. Have this checked and replaced if necessary by a professional.
