Dropped injectors

Dual wheels

Would the injectors dropping cause the steering to tighten up?

Thanks, basically my injectors have dropped but the steering is also tight it’s like there is no power steering

I see, I don't understand what you mean by this, but generally fuel injectors will have no effect on steering

Could be a worn or damaged rotator splint.

Potentially quite serious.

Would a reach around fix that?

Thanks, looks like it’s just bad timing, my injectors need replacing and the steering has become very stiff and I don’t know what’s causing that

Is this a wind up?

Injectors dropping? What does that even mean?

the fuel system has no connection to the steering. How could one have an effect on the other?

I don’t know, basically the injectors need replacing but last week the steering got very stiff like the power steering was gone however after a few days it came back to normal, I can’t figure out what’s wrong here

Why even bother

Dualwheels, well your post hardly makes much sense either.

if car has electric power assisted steering, then a short or bad ground in engine harness could possibly effect both systems. what is the car?

Steering on those is electrically driven .
They were always on the heavy side .
Later ones the steering was a lot lighter

Any idea why it would have become very tight for a couple of weeks then go back to normal? Would it be an electrical fault?

bad ground

They were actually hydraulic until the facelift model in 2012. Electric after that.

Early cars without the servotronic option were quite heavy.
