EPS stiff at high speeds
Hello.
I have a 04 sedan with 1.6 engine. The power steering is electrical on this one.
Whenever my speed exceeds 40kmh or something like that, the steering becomes extremely stiff and stucky. It's like it's notched.
At low speeds it works like a charm, albeit a clicking sound that seems to be coming from it.
The car has 400k km on it and there are no error codes from the ECU.
I found a suggested fix for this on the internet and injected lubricant in to the base of the steering wheel but that did not solve my problem.
It's very hard to steer straight as it is, small corrections to direction are not possible as the wheel requires force to turn.
Is there something I can try? I won't change the rack
to a 400k km car.
