TIP OF THE DAY: STEERING

TIP OF THE DAY: Steering. We can't drive a car without steering, how would we get where we want to go without that steering wheel? When driving a car that's in good shape, it's easy to forget that there's more to the steering system than just that steering wheel and the tires that you point in the desired direction. Life is good; not a care in the world. (related to the car that is)
Sooner or lat...er however we will be introduced to a struggling steering system.
Most of the time the the signs come in the form of some sort of noise. Such as the famous whining noise when you turn the steering wheel. This is typically a sign that the power steering fluid is low, and an indication of a possible leak. This will result in damage to the pump unless addressed. Then of course there is the ever annoying clunking /knocking noise. Knocking and clunking noises normally mean that something is loose and/or worn out. Sometimes there is that "loose" feel in the wheel, a delayed reaction when turning the wheel, also a sign of worn parts. When you hear these noises, your car is "talking" to you! Listen! Have these things checked out,before it becomes a big problem.
