The steering gear must be replaced if it's damaged. The consequences of a damaged steering gear are as follows: 1. Lack of power assistance: It will make steering difficult, and the power steering will fail, meaning there is no power assistance; 2. Stiff movement: Steering will become very heavy, the steering gear may jam and prevent turning, and it may indirectly cause abnormal tire wear. Reasons for abnormal noise in the steering gear: 1. Power steering pump failure; 2. Lack of power steering fluid; 3. Leaking steering gear dust cover caused by air inside or dirty power steering fluid. Power steering systems are divided into: 1. Electric power steering; 2. Rack and pinion hydraulic power steering; 3. Electro-hydraulic power steering.
