Power Steering Problem? On Excel

[baby34]

Hi, got a lil problem with my Hyundai excel i just bought.

The steering is very heavy when i steer.. at the start... but once i get the car going the steering will be very smooth.......

It seems the steering has no power steering when the car isnt moving.. :| Any ideas?

Maybe the power steering oil.. i'm thinking x.x

Any advice would be great,

would make my life a hell lot easier instead of using so much energy steering LOL

are you sure it has power steering as thats the characteristics of a non power steering car and excel`s are the poverty pack. static turning is a bitch but while its moving piece of cake. check your belts and see if there is a pump at all or power steering resevoir. if it was low power steering oil it would growl

it definately has power steering as 90% of the time the steering is light.. i've driven an excel without power steering.... :|

non power steering cars will have somewhat light steering when moving as well.

could be that if they have a speed sensor for the steering it's stuffed. could be low on fluid or the pump or steering rack is stuffed.
