Comprehensive Steering Services We Offer
Your steering system relies on precision parts that work together to help you direct your vehicle smoothly and safely. We inspect, repair, and replace all major components, including:
- Steering wheel & column inspection – We inspect the steering wheel, intermediate shaft, and column joints for looseness or binding that can affect control or steering effort.
- Rack-and-pinion repair & replacement – The rack-and-pinion converts steering wheel movement into precise wheel direction. We repair leaks, replace damaged seals, or install new racks to restore proper steering response.
- Tie rod & linkage replacement – Tie rods connect the steering rack to your wheels. Worn tie rods can cause steering play, uneven tire wear, or drifting — we replace them and perform a precise alignment afterward.
- Power steering pump service – If your steering feels heavy or you hear whining noises, the power steering pump may be weak or leaking. We can rebuild or replace it to restore smooth, easy steering.
- Power steering fluid flush & leak repair – Old or contaminated fluid can lead to system failure. We flush out old fluid, check for leaks, and refill with manufacturer-specified fluid.
- Electronic power steering (EPS) diagnostics – For modern vehicles, we use specialized scan tools to diagnose electric-assist steering systems and resolve warning lights or erratic steering behavior.
