The Toyota Land Cruiser power steering problems are steering wheel gets stuck and turns to one side. The power steering fluid needs to be changed every 75,000 miles. Along with changing fluids, You will come across noises from steering parts. A faulty bearing will make a nasty sound. A loose bearing will become painful to the ear. Having great steering is key for changing lanes and moving about on the road. You will someday come across some issues though. The steering wheel can become stuck. It may turn to one side. Steering fluid can leak at one point. The steering pump may become loose and that will spell disaster for Your vehicle. The strut bearings might become bad. The rack mount can become faulty.
I’ve had a number of LCs. A not uncommon fault is the joint on the steering column becoming stiff. This causes a notch stiffness felt at the wheel. Garages recommended changing a lot of expensive parts. Turned out the joint just needed freeing with penetrating oil, then protecting with grease.

If the power steering in your Toyota Land Crusier feels too hard on turning or too loose you may need to check power steering fluid levels or have your steering box replaced.
