STEERING

The steering system of your car is everything from the steering wheel to the steering shaft, rack and pinion (also known as the gearbox), all the way to the linkage which connects to the wheels themselves. 

The parts of the steering and suspension system are:

• Ball Joints
• Bushings
• Sway Bar Links
• Center Links
• Idler Arms/Pitman Arms
• Rack and Pinion Units
• Tie Rod Ends/Sleeves
• CV Joints/Boots
• CV Axle Half Shafts
• Shock Absorbers
• Struts/Cartridges

The most common issue you will see with a steering system is a linkage issue. The tie rod or rod end is that main linkage piece that helps you maneuver the vehicle. But when those tie rods wear down, it is harder to maintain proper alignment and eventually lose control of the steering.

If you are experiencing difficulty handling the steering in your car, it is important to get it checked out  as soon as possible. It is dangerous for yourself and others on the road if you lose control of your vehicle due to a steering issue.
