Why does my Kia Sorento's steering feel tight?

I have noticed that the steering on my Kia Sorento seems to be tighter than usual. It feels hard to turn and takes more effort to steer the car. What could be causing this issue?

One possible issue could be low power steering fluid. Check the fluid level and top off if necessary.

Another potential cause could be a problem with the steering rack or tie rod ends. I recommend taking your car to a mechanic for a proper diagnosis.

It could also be due to worn out steering components, such as the steering column or bearings. I suggest getting these checked and replaced if needed.

Lastly, it could be an issue with the power steering pump. If you hear any unusual noises while turning the wheel, it could be a sign of a faulty pump.
