hi, i have a 2001 Honda rancher ES 350 and i recently just tightened the front brakes on it and after i did that the steering got hard to turn it was fine till i did that and i put new bearings on the front left plz help but yea steering was fine till i tightened the brakes up and put new front left bearings on it

 

i would loosen them up see if they are a little to tight

 

i would but idk if that would help cause you jack it up and it's still tight should it still be tight when its jacked up. To make sure i tightened up right one it is the one where its on the master cylinder looks like small gear right?

 

I have a 2004 foreman 450 ES and recently snapped the steering shaft. I tore it all apart and installed a new steering shaft and soon upon doing so i have notices a decent amount of play in my steering. Is there a possibility that the splines on the steering shaft are sheared off inside the steering box or could it be a bearing within the steering box? If you could get back to me that would be awesome!
