STIFF STEERING
The main causes of stiff steering are lack of lubrication, ineorrect adjustment, or wrong castor-angle of the front wheels. If there is no trace of stiffness when both front wheels are jacked -up, the fault probably lies in the front wheel setting. If the stiffness persists, try disconnecting the steering linkage at the end of the drop-arm from the steerage gearbox. If the wheel turns stiffly, the fault is in the reduction gear. If it is then free, look for some fault such as misalignment, which would cause friction in the lipkage.
