Default Heavy steering effort, solved

My 2000 Windom have heavy steering wheel lately, first suspect is power steering belt slip since the inner CV join was break and oil goes on the pulley. Replaced both and still have heavy steering. Later found out the universal joint from steering column to the rack was blind in 1 direction. Changed that and steering goes fine now, hope this info can help you guys.

thanks for sharing

so, you have a good taste in cars if I do say so myself... your 540i doesn't happen to be a 6speed, does it? [on the internet they write it like this 540i6 ]
