If your power steering fluid level is within normal range you may have what my 2004 Sienna had, a known issue where the u-joint on the steering shaft gets corroded. I was able to lubricate the u-joint and it cleared the issue. See this site for how to do it too: How to Fix Toyota Sienna Stiff Steering Share Your Repair

Check that the ignition switch wheel lock is disengaging completely and not catching on the teeth in the column. Check for seizing up joints in the steering shaft. Have a steering shop check it out as it is potentially dangerous

SOURCE: steering wheel very hard to turn left or right

The steering gear-oil must be filled to its proper level.
Next, make sure your balljoints, tie-rod ends, rack & pinion assembly are properly lubricated.
Wheel alignment, low tire pressure must be ok.

I hit a retaining wall with the right tire on my older craftsman rider and now the right wheel doesn’t respond to steering....the left wheel is fine. Any ideas?

You'll need to get in and have a Good look at the front suspension and linkages. Each side is a mirror image of the other so use the side that is working as a comparison. It sounds like you might have broken a steering linkage. It might be easier if you can safely raise the front end off the ground and support It on axle stands. Remove the front wheels. Get someone to gently turn the steering from fully left to fully right and back again a few times. While they do this compare the left and right sides. You should see something that isn't connected or not moving compared to the working side.

2000 ford f 150 key wont turn in the ignition what do i do

Hi Rebecca, I'm Al the owner of Big As Auto Repair

Rebecca, sometimes the steering wheel can get locked in a position that will not allow you to turn the key. If the steering wheel is straight ahead ignore this first answer. Sometimes the key and tumblers ware out. If this is the case here's something you can try. Take a can of lube and spray right down the key so it enters the lock cylinder, next take something and hit on the end of the key several times then try to turn it. If this works you'll need to get the key and tumbler replaced right away because it will do it again. If you need further assistance go to my auto repair website below. Have an awesome day Rebecca.

Key won't turn in ignition

On many vehicles, the key locks the steering wheel. If the wheel is turned, it can keep the key from turning. While trying to turn the key, push the steering wheel hard to the right and if that doesn't work, push the steering wheel hard to the left.

I put key in ignition this morning and the key would not turn. What do I do to fix problem? Steering wheel is not locked, battery is not dead

A couple of guesses so if it fails you'll have to post the problem again.

1) Is there a button to release the ignition lock, sometimes on the underneath of the steering column?
2) Assuming no or you've already tried that, sometimes, if when parked, the steering wheel is turned slightly, the steering lock and the ignition lock bind. Just try rocking the steering wheel left and right, no more than 8th of a turn, while trying to turn the ignition key. May just work.

As I got out of the car i grabbed the wheel and it moved left and clicked. Now I cant get the key to turn in ignition and wheel is locked. What do I do?

move the steering wheel while turning the key in the ignition and it should come unlocked. This happens sometimes, its just on a bind. Like i said just turn the steering wheel left and right the little bit that you can and the key will be able to turn.

Try turning the steering wheel (hard) right and left while turning the key. Steering lock , and ignition lock work in conjunction with each other.
