Can the type of power steering fluid make steering tight?

In: Power Steering, Toyota Camry, Honda Accord EX [Edit categories]

Answer:

It's possible but not likely. As far as you are sure that you have put the right kind of fluid, it's not the fluid's fault. It might be joints, power steering pump, pump steering rack, some air or water in the system.
