    Hello, I have a 2019 Volvo vnl with air ride steer axle, lately having issues with steering wheel. It gets hard to turn and stuck at times. already had the power steering fluid flushed and filter replaced also got the king pin bearing and bushing job done No difference has it made tho. Please advise.

    The little u joints between the steering box and wheel have cost some people a lot of money.
    Might want to check those. Be sure shafts are always put back aligned as from factory it disassembled. Mark them before disassembly.

    Keep them greased if they have grease fittings.

    Also the Volvos have a grease fitting on bottom of box for sector shaft. Most don’t get greased
