If you are finding it hard to steer your vehicle, it could be a variety of things, though most commonly you will find that the problem lies with either your Power Steering pump, or power steering rack. Check your power steering fluid; if it is low, top it off with the proper PS fluid. If it is not low, take your vehicle to a trusted mechanic and have them inspect the problem.
