Frequently Asked Questions
What are common signs of steering problems?
Typical warning signs include difficulty turning the wheel, vibrations when steering, unusual noises like whining or clunking, and the vehicle drifting or pulling to one side. Stiffness or looseness in the steering wheel is also a strong indicator something is wrong. These issues often point to worn components, low fluid levels, or misalignment that should be inspected quickly.
How often should steering be checked?
Steering should be inspected during every routine service or at least once a year. However, if a driver notices pulling, vibration, fluid leaks, or changes in steering feel, it’s best to book an inspection immediately. Off-road driving and rough road conditions can accelerate wear, so 4WDs and work vehicles may need more frequent checks.
What happens if power steering fluid is low?
Low power steering fluid usually leads to heavy or stiff steering, whining noises, and reduced control. If ignored, it can cause damage to the steering pump and other hydraulic components. Topping up the fluid may provide temporary relief, but leaks or component faults need professional repair to prevent long-term damage and ensure safe vehicle control.
Expert Care
Precision Steering, Safer Handling
Modern steering systems are built to last, but wear and tear eventually catch up with every vehicle. Problems like leaking power steering fluid, worn tie rod ends, faulty racks, or misaligned components can affect handling and compromise safety. Professional steering repairs bring back the precision you rely on, making sure your car tracks straight, responds properly, and keeps tyres wearing evenly. A well-maintained steering system doesn’t just make driving easier — it makes every trip safer, whether you’re tackling off-road tracks or city traffic.
