Should the Geely Emgrand's Steering Gear with Abnormal Noise be Repaired or Replaced?

[Rodney]

Determine whether to repair or replace the Geely Emgrand's steering gear based on the situation. There are many reasons for the abnormal noise in the steering gear. If it is simply due to insufficient power steering fluid, just adding the fluid will suffice. If the thrust bearing is damaged, it needs to be replaced promptly. The specific cause needs to be checked and repaired at a 4S shop. If it is still under warranty, the entire steering gear assembly can be replaced for free. Introduction to the Steering Gear: The steering gear is a machine that assists the driver in applying force when turning the steering wheel, reducing the effort required by the driver to achieve a relaxed and convenient driving experience. It is mainly divided into rack-and-pinion steering and recirculating-ball steering. Reasons for Abnormal Noise in the Steering Gear: The steering column lacks lubrication, causing high friction. Check if the power steering fluid is low. Inspect if there is an issue with the universal joint. The rubber bushings of the suspension stabilizer bar links are aged and hardened. The thrust bearing is damaged.
