For the past few days, I've noticed that my BMW XM's steering wheel has been making a strange noise whenever I turn it. The steering also feels stiff and unresponsive at times. What could be causing this issue and how can I fix it?
ReplyIt sounds like your power steering pump may be failing. I would recommend taking your car to a trusted mechanic to have it checked out. They will be able to diagnose the problem and advise you on the best course of action.
Sometimes a simple fix like topping off the power steering fluid can solve these issues. Check your owner's manual to see the recommended type of fluid and how to properly add it. If that doesn't work, then it's best to take your car to a professional.
I had a similar issue with my XM and it turned out to be a faulty steering rack. You may need to have it replaced if it's worn or damaged. I would recommend getting a few quotes from different mechanics to get the best price.
