How Does the Steering System Work?
The steering system works by transmitting what the driver manipulates the steering wheel, moving it through the steering rack from the steering column, and then finally, that force to the wheels to make your input happen. A crucial feature of the system is the power steering pump and slides that provide power to reduce the needed effort to maneuver the steering wheel. You will find your steering rack to be hydraulic or electric, depending on what vehicle you drive.
When to Get Your Steering System Serviced?
Your steering system is obviously an important part of your vehicle and should be made sure to be serviced at the appropriate times to stay in working order.
