Littlegreenyoda 1st Gear December 18, 2017 Share December 18, 2017 Hi, Just bought a used Peugeot 308 (8 years old) and realized the steering wheel is very heavy especially when parking. It’s so bad that my arms ache after reversing into a lot. Any idea why it’s like that? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unfair 3rd Gear December 18, 2017 Share December 18, 2017 Hi, Just bought a used Peugeot 308 (8 years old) and realized the steering wheel is very heavy especially when parking. It’s so bad that my arms ache after reversing into a lot. Any idea why it’s like that? Power Steering pump leak. Check the reservoir to see how much left. Top up and monitor. If level goes down fast, bring for repair Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
inlinesix Hypersonic December 18, 2017 Share December 18, 2017 If everything is okay, you need to train on your bicep. My wife previously also complain BMW steering very heavy during parking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mugenr 2nd Gear December 19, 2017 Share December 19, 2017 Bro same model as your ride. If you are used to the jap cars steering weight this would seem a lot heavier and takes some getting used to, I have a Camry and a Pug and everytime I switch over I always feel it takes relatively more effort on parking. You will get used to it 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littlegreenyoda 1st Gear December 19, 2017 Author Share December 19, 2017 Thanks a lot bros! Guessed my force was weak in this 308 and need to go practice more. Haha! Seems like it’s supposed to be that heavy! I’m too used to driving Japanese cars. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alessiahayden January 24, 2018 Share January 24, 2018 First of all, please confirm is it power steering car? If no then need to change the steering. If yes, then need to check the steering pump leakage from good mechanic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
