What Is the Steering System?

Your steering system allows you to safely control the direction of your vehicle while working together with the suspension system to provide stability and handling. Major steering components include:

Steering rack and pinion
Tie rod ends
Steering column
Power steering pump (hydraulic systems)
Electric power steering motor (EPS systems)
Steering gear
Steering shaft
Power steering hoses
Steering linkage

If one of these components begins to wear or fail, it can affect vehicle control, tire wear, and driving safety.

Signs You May Need Steering Repair

If you experience any of these symptoms, it's time to have your steering system inspected:

! Steering wheel is hard to turn
! Loose or wandering steering
! Vehicle pulls to one side
! Steering wheel vibration
! Clunking when turning
! Grinding or whining noises
! Steering wheel isn't centered
! Excessive play in the steering wheel
! Fluid leaking under the front of the vehicle
! Steering feels different than normal
Steering problems often become progressively worse if left unrepaired.

Common Steering Repairs We Perform

Tie Rod Replacement

Tie rods connect the steering rack to your front wheels.

Worn tie rods may cause:

  • Loose steering
  • Vehicle wandering
  • Uneven tire wear
  • Clunking noises
  • Poor alignment

Steering Rack and Pinion Replacement

The steering rack converts your steering wheel movement into movement of the front wheels.

Signs of a failing steering rack include:

  • Loose steering
  • Difficulty steering
  • Fluid leaks
  • Steering wheel vibration
  • Knocking noises

Power Steering Pump Replacement

Vehicles equipped with hydraulic power steering use a pump to provide steering assistance.

A failing pump may cause:

  • Hard steering
  • Whining noise while turning
  • Fluid leaks
  • Inconsistent steering assist

Electric Power Steering (EPS) Diagnosis

Many newer vehicles use electric power steering instead of hydraulic systems.

Our technicians diagnose problems involving:

  • EPS motors
  • Steering sensors
  • Electrical faults
  • Steering modules

Power Steering Leak Repair

Power steering fluid leaks are commonly caused by:

  • Hoses
  • Steering rack seals
  • Pump seals
  • Fittings

Repairing leaks early can help prevent damage to other steering components.
