    Hi,

    so recently I greased the zirks for the u joints on my 2013 Tacoma TRD. Now, the power steering has become very stiff to turn the wheel. I suspect another issues but welcome any comments if greasing the zirks had any effect on the power steering?

    thanks

    Neil

    I would look at your intermediate steering shaft with that small little you joint in it they usually get rusty and crusty soak that down with some liquid wrench or something like that that could be the issue otherwise you’re steering is just your rack

    Check your PSF to see if it is low.
