Understanding Your Vehicle’s Steering System
Most modern vehicles are equipped with power steering systems that make it easier for drivers to maneuver. There are two main types of power steering:
Hydraulic Power Steering
Uses pressurized power steering fluid to assist movement. If this fluid becomes contaminated or leaks, your system can fail or perform poorly.
Electric Power Steering (EPS)
Relies on an electric motor and sensors to assist with turning. It’s more fuel-efficient and requires fewer components, but still requires proper diagnostics and service when issues arise.
Rack-and-Pinion vs. Steering-Box Systems
There are two main steering mechanisms found in vehicles today:
Rack-and-Pinion Steering
Common in most modern cars
Uses a pinion gear connected to the steering shaft
As you turn the wheel, the pinion moves the steering rack, translating motion into wheel movement
Smooth, responsive, and compact
Steering-Box System
Often found in older vehicles and trucks
Utilizes a worm gear and sector gear to move the steering arm
Provides robust performance, especially in heavier vehicles
No matter which system your vehicle uses, we’re fully equipped to service, repair, or replace any failing components.
Common Signs You Need Steering Repair
Don’t ignore these warning signs of a potential steering issue:
Difficulty turning the steering wheel
Steering wheel vibration while driving
Vehicle pulls to one side
Grinding or squealing when turning
Power steering fluid leak under the vehicle
Steering wheel feels too stiff or too loose
Steering wheel “slips” while turning
If you notice any of these, it’s time to visit Roy Foster's Automotive for a full inspection.
