It is necessary to replace a faulty steering gear. The consequences of a damaged steering gear are as follows: 1. Lack of power assistance: This will make steering difficult, and the power steering will fail, meaning there is no power assistance. 2. Stiff or stuck movement: Steering becomes excessively heavy, the steering gear may get stuck and unable to turn, and it may also indirectly cause abnormal tire wear. Reasons for abnormal noises from the steering gear: 1. Power steering pump failure; 2. Insufficient power steering fluid; 3. Leaking dust cover on the steering gear, which may introduce air or dirty power steering fluid. Power steering systems are categorized into: 1. Electric power steering (EPS); 2. Rack and pinion hydraulic power steering; 3. Electro-hydraulic power steering.
