Sticky Power Steering

richardgrace75 · Oct 9, 2009

Hi all, every now and then the power steering sticks on my 110 CSW. It happens on the move and only sticks for a split second and then with the continued turn of the steering wheel, returns to normal. Is this a common problem?... Should I be heading for the cheque book? Thanks.

Sticky or lumpy? A quick spray of WD40 onto the steering column UJs can help with lumptness.

Well, it's smooth 90% of the time, but then almost feels like it catches on something and then gets past it... I'll give the WD40 a go though! Thanks.

Bear in mind that it is only a temporary fix and if it does work but the problem returns then you should consider new column UJs.
