When does a steering rack need repair?

The steering rack, or rack-and-pinion mechanism, gives you precise and safe handling. If you notice any of these signs, don't wait.

Rattling and knocking

You hear rattling, knocking or squeaking from the steering system.

Loose steering, free play

The steering feels loose, and you can turn the wheel before the car starts to respond.

Car pulls to one side

The car is hard to keep straight, and handling in corners becomes imprecise.

Oil leak

Oil or dampness is visible around the steering gear.

Power steering problems

The power steering works unevenly or uses fluid quickly.

After an impact

After an accident or a hard hit to a wheel, the steering gear must be checked.

If the steering starts to rattle or develops free play, don't wait for it to get worse. We first check whether the fault really is in the rack, because worn tie rod ends and ball joints cause similar symptoms, and only then recommend a repair.
