Hello every ine ✋🏻, i need your advise please. My ride is Audi A4 2006 2.0L ... I had a complete set of control arms replaced today (total 10pcs), and being aligned afterwards, but unfortunately i experienced a very stiff steering wheel. Any clue ?

Sure, a stiff steering wheel after replacing control arms and aligning the wheels could be due to:

1. Air in Power Steering: Air bubbles in the power steering system might need to be bled out.
   
2. Alignment Issue: Improper alignment settings can cause steering problems.
   
3. Tire Pressure: Incorrect tire pressure could affect steering feel.
   
4. Suspension Components: Other worn suspension parts might be impacting steering.
   
5. Power Steering Fluid: Check fluid level and condition.
   
6. Tire Problems: Uneven wear or flat spots on tires can lead to stiffness.
   
7. Binding Parts: Poorly lubricated or installed components might be sticking.
