M car was hit on the driver side and got it repaired but now my steering is hard. Any ideas how I might go about fixing it?

I took it to the dealer for diag. And was told to get it alligned and that may solve my problem; it did not.

Was any or has it been determined that there was no damage to the frame?

No damage to the frame.

No damage to the frame.

If the dealer did the alignment they should investigate further if you still have the issue and they realize something isn't right.

I will look into it. Thank you for the tip.

Can you explain steering is hard? Like it’s stiffer to turn the wheel or it pulls one way or the other?

it had no power steering. It is hard to turn the wheel unless the car is in motion. ( Like before power steering was invented)

Gotcha. So if you did an alignment like the dealer asked and it’s still not right then yeah I’d go back to the dealer. I’d let them know you got one done and it’s still off. Sounds like someone missed something when they “fixed” it after the accident.

Or try taking to another dealer and have them assess. Who did the repair to bodywork? Also, contact the regional Honda office. Something is NOT RIGHT....

Wonder if the steering rack could have been damaged or electric steering not working properly.
