What's causing stiff steering?
I have a Renault Master. It seems like the mechanical steering is stiff both driving and stationary, so I changed the steering pump - without result. Are there any common things to look for? There aren't any leaks.

Check the tyre pressures; the correct PSI can be found in the owner's manual and on a plate inside the driver's door frame. If this doesn't fix the problem then it may be worn joints or parts within the steering rack itself.
From choosing the right tyre to what to do when it goes wrong - we have the answers.
