Can Electronic Power Steering Racks Be Repaired?

[VanGrace]

Electronic power steering racks can be repaired. If they cannot be repaired, it is recommended to replace them with complete assembly parts, preferably original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts. Methods to identify damage in automotive steering racks: Unstable steering while driving; increased free play in the steering wheel; difficulty in the steering wheel returning to center, understeer or oversteer; steering wheel shaking, wobbling, or heavy steering; unusual noises from the car's steering rack, etc. Faults caused by steering rack damage: Unusual noises when turning the steering wheel while stationary; unusual noises whether stationary or driving at speeds below 20 km/h; the steering wheel wobbles freely during turns or becomes very heavy when turning; typical power steering pump failure leading to difficult steering, with abnormally heavy steering while driving. Methods to repair automotive steering racks: If the car's steering rack is damaged, first repair the power steering pump; or replace it with a new power steering pump; if the warranty period has not expired, you can file a claim with the 4S dealership.
