Information

What about the steering system?

There are two basic types of steering, rack and pinion or mechanical, which is either power-assisted or non-power. Since steering and suspension systems are directly related to each other, they are often considered together.

How do I know if there’s a problem with the steering system?

Worn steering components can cause noises, vibrations, wobbling, or pulling or wandering steering problems. The steering linkage could be loose, or there could be a problem in the steering box assembly. There could also be components that are worn or damaged and need to be repaired or replaced.

What are my options?

The vehicle can be taken to an auto or repair shop, or the owner can repair it, dependent on the complexity of the problem. There are numerous automotive websites that advertise repair services, sell steering wheel repair kits and parts. Other online vendors sell service manuals or how-to books.
