What Our Customers Say
FAQs
What are the signs that my steering needs repairing?
Common signs of steering problems include difficulty turning the steering wheel, excessive play or looseness, unusual noises when turning, vibration through the steering wheel or your vehicle pulling to one side. If your steering feels different or less responsive than usual, it's worth having the system inspected.
What causes steering problems?
Steering problems can be caused by worn or damaged components such as tie rod ends, ball joints, steering racks, bushes and other steering or suspension components. Power steering system faults, incorrect wheel alignment and general wear can also affect how your vehicle steers and handles.
Can steering problems cause uneven tyre wear?
Yes. Worn steering or suspension components can affect wheel alignment and the way your tyres contact the road, potentially causing uneven or premature tyre wear. Identifying and repairing the underlying problem can help protect your tyres and restore correct vehicle handling.

Is it safe to drive with a steering problem?
Steering is a critical part of your vehicle's safety and handling, so unusual steering behaviour shouldn't be ignored. If the steering becomes difficult, loose, unpredictable or noticeably different, have the vehicle inspected as soon as possible. If you are concerned the vehicle may be unsafe to drive, don't continue driving it.
