A loose steering gear assembly may be replaced if necessary. A failed steering gear should be dealt with depending on the specific cause. A broken steering gear can result in difficulty in steering operation or even render it impossible, and should be replaced in time. In the case of a steering gear failure, the main ESP failure indicator will light up.
Possible symptoms of a broken steering gear:
- Vehicle deviation
If the car deviates from its direction even when it runs with normal tyre pressure and on flat road, the most probable reason is a problem with the steering gear. - Abnormal sound when turning the car or operating the steering wheel with the car at a standstill
If abnormal sound is heard during turns, or if there is click sound when the steering wheel is moved with the car at a standstill, the steering gear or a tyre may have failed. - Difficulty in straightening the steering wheel
If the steering wheel straightens very slowly or fails to straighten, the steering gear may have broken.
