2002 hyundai elentra hard steering

I just bought this used car. The steering is hard, I know it probably needs tires, but don't know if that will solve the problem. It is stiff while driving. Checked the power steering fluid looks fine, no leaks hoses are fine as well.
Any idea what it could be. Please give me everything that you may think it is.
thank you

I do not know if this is problem or not but many of the automobiles made today have a steering pump that reacts to engine speed. The faster you go (to a point) the more taunt the steering. This is to give you feel of road and keep from over steering. Either you are not used to this or the pump or pump back feed information has a problem.

Put new foglights on my 2002 hyundai elentra gls but dont know how to wire them

First of all, did the vehicle previously come with fog lamps? I'm assuming it didn't. Normally, each YM (Year/Model) Hyundai wiring harness is complete for every feature which might be included with certain trim specifications. However, you probably don't have the multi-function switch which has the 'Fog Lamp Switch' on it (Left Hand Turn & Parking/Headlamp Switches). However, the wiring for the fog lamps is probably there, you just need the multifunction switch which contains the fog lamp switch. The illustration attached shows where the wire harness plugs into the fog lamp bulb. This connector may be taped up in the wire harness out of the way (since I'm assuming the vehicle didn't originally come equipped with fog lamps).

The car is running fine, but the EPS light came on and I could hardly steer it. I have a little over 50,0000 miles on a 2008 elanatra Hyundai?

Hyundai has electric assisted power steering, not hydraulic, and I know the
new Sonata has some steering issues. Better bring it into Hyundai especially
since you're still under warranty. Don't fool with this, since the car is extremely
difficult to steer if you loose the assist.

My 2008 elentra has had a tire sensor changed, but

I'm sure the owner's guide has the necessary info and there is a 'recalibration' procedure that needs to be followed. If you don't have the guide anymore, it is likely available from the Hyundai support website.

PETROL FILTER LOCATION

Hi,

I am assuming you would want to know the placement of the fuel filter. It actually depends if your Elentra is a Sedan or Wagon.
To my knowledge a 99 Hyundai Elentra has an inline fuel filter. It is located in the engine bay right against the firewall. It could either be on the driver side or the passenger side. It looks like a small canister with tubing connectors at the top and bottom. It is normally held by a clamp.. It maybe necessary to remove the air filter box to have easy access on removal of the fuel filter. It is a sound practice to relieve the fuel pressure prior to fuel filter removal.

If on the other hand, you are seeking locations where you can purchase a fuel filter for your 1999 Elentra, pls try here, here, here or even eBay for a start.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

Thank you for using FixYa.
