How Does Car Steering Work?
The steering system in your car encompasses various components, spanning from the steering wheel, steering shaft, rack, and gearbox to the linkage connecting to the wheels.
Together, these elements are responsible for managing the vehicle's direction of motion.
In modern cars, the majority of steering systems incorporate a hydraulic booster that provides the essential force when the driver turns the wheel, commonly referred to as power-assisted steering.
When Do You Need To Replace Your Power Steering Fluid?
A general guideline recommends changing your power steering fluid within the range of 30,000 to 100,000 miles of driving.
It is best to check with in your manufacturers handbook of the recommended replacement intervals.
The primary motivation for this replacement is the contamination or impurity of the power steering fluid.
Clear indicators that prompt a flush include difficulties in steering, the fluid exhibiting a dark or dirty brown colour (typically red when fresh), a burning smell, or the occurrence of squealing noises while turning the steering wheel.
Is It Important To Get The Car Steering Checked?
While the engine and brakes are undeniably crucial components of a vehicle, the steering system plays an equally vital role.
A fully operational steering system is essential for the usability and safety of a vehicle.
Therefore, it is crucial to monitor your car's steering function closely, and any perceived changes should be promptly examined.
Early indications of steering issues may manifest as the vehicle pulling to one side or variations in the steering's responsiveness, either becoming looser or stiffer than the usual feel.
Addressing such concerns promptly is key to maintaining optimal vehicle safety and performance.
What Is Included In A Steering Health Check?
The steering health check we offer is a comprehensive inspection covering all the major components of your vehicle's steering system.
Our skilled technicians carefully examine various elements, including power steering fluid, steering rack, auxiliary belt, power steering pump and wheel alignment.
How Long Does The Steering Health Check Take?
The steering health check we provide is a prompt "while you wait" service, typically taking up to an hour.
The duration may vary based on whether any faults are identified during the inspection of your vehicle.
This efficient and timely check allows you to have a clear understanding of your steering system's condition and take any necessary actions promptly.
Can I Drive With Faulty Vehicle Steering?
Driving with faulty steering can be unsafe and is not recommended.
It can lead to difficulties in handling your vehicle, a rough and uncomfortable ride, pulling to one side, or even a lower and unstable stance.
How Much Does A Car Steering Repair Cost?
The cost to repair steering varies depending on the issue and the parts required.
We'll always let you know the problem before we start work.
