heavy steering on his Renown

[triump]

Not sure if this is the appropriate place, but here goes: My 90 year old friend is having difficulty with the heavy steering on his Renow n. Is this normal or is this a known problem with a cure? Hoping someone can help.

Hoi,

Welcome onboard, feel free to start a new thread to ask your questions,

No a Renown is not very heavy to steer, however a lot of things could influence, lack of oil and wear in the box, all those linkages without grease, but mainly a front wheel alignment I would think.
It is a fairly heavy car so steering would never be overly light. The box is made by Marles and not overly well engineered more, let say, a bit antiquated as design.

kind regards

Steering effort is very likely going to be heavier than many more modern cars because of the lack of power assistance.
