What are the symptoms of a faulty car steering gear?
1 Answers
Car steering gear failure symptoms: 1. There is abnormal noise when turning the steering wheel in place, whether stationary or at speeds below 20KM/h; 2. The steering wheel becomes extremely loose during turns or requires excessive effort to turn; 3. Typical power steering pump failure causing difficulty in steering, with abnormally heavy steering feel while driving. The car steering gear, also known as the steering mechanism or steering box, is the most critical component in a vehicle's steering system. Its function is to amplify the force transmitted from the steering wheel to the steering linkage and alter the direction of force transmission. Currently common types include rack-and-pinion, worm-and-roller, and recirculating-ball steering gears.
