Why does my Audi A7 have a stiff steering wheel?

I recently noticed that my Audi A7's steering wheel has become stiffer than usual. It's making it difficult to turn and navigate smoothly. Any ideas on what could be causing this?

The most common reason for a stiff steering wheel in an Audi A7 is low power steering fluid. Check your fluid levels and top off if necessary. Keep in mind that this could also be a sign of a leak, so make sure to get it checked out by a mechanic if you see any fluid on the ground.

Another common cause for a stiff steering wheel is a worn out or loose drive belt. This belt is responsible for powering the power steering pump, so if it's damaged or loose, it can cause a stiff feeling in the steering wheel. Have a mechanic check the belt and replace if necessary.

If you have recently driven through rough terrain or hit a bump hard, it's possible that your Audi A7's alignment is off. Misalignment can cause a stiff steering wheel, so make sure to get your alignment checked and corrected if necessary.
