About this service
Precise steering is safe steering
Your steering is a chain of parts: the rack (or box), tie-rod ends, inner joints, and either a hydraulic pump or an electric assist motor. Wear anywhere in that chain shows up as play, noise or a heavy wheel.
We check for free play, leaks and worn joints, then replace the faulty components and recommend an alignment where needed so the car tracks straight.

FAQ
Steering Repair questions
Why is my steering heavy?
Low power-steering fluid, a failing pump or belt, or a fault in electric power steering are the usual causes.
What does a knocking noise when turning mean?
Often worn tie-rod ends or suspension joints. It’s a safety item, so get it checked promptly.
Do I need an alignment after steering repairs?
Yes, after tie-rod or rack replacement an alignment keeps the wheels pointing straight and tyres wearing evenly.
