why does Steering gets stiff

[BlackGT97]

As i'm going down the roads, my Trac light, ABS light, and my tire pressure light comes on. And when it comes on, I can feel my steering stiffin up alot. Any idea why this happens? (Lights come on because the sensors are cut on both front wheel bearings). Also, would gas milage be related to these sensors for some odd reason? Becuase right now I went 215 miles and have less then a 1/4 tank. (no codes and mostly highway driving).

because you have magnasteer and it's tied into the abs and trac system.

Fix the hubs and your problems should go away.

So could this some how be related to gas milage in some weird way? My gas milage is freaking stupid!!!! lol

I know how to fix the problem, I was just asking why this happens. I knew what was causing it.

doubtful,

if you're only driving city, getting 275 a tank is normal.

maybe its time for a tune up.

Maybe you just need a tune up? When the weather gets cold your gas mileage will go down quite a bit.

If your bearings are causing resistance, it can easily cause your MPGs to go down.

The hubs are good....So I think we can rule that out.

Like was posted above more than likely the magnasteer.
