NOTE

STEERING SYSTEM

The steering system in a vehicle is responsible for controlling its direction of movement. It includes components such as the steering wheel, steering column, steering gear, and linkages.

A faulty steering system refers to any issue or malfunction within these components that hinders the driver's ability to control the vehicle's direction effectively. This can include problems like loose or worn-out steering linkage, malfunctioning power steering system, or issues with the steering gear.

The effects of a faulty steering system

  1. Difficulty in steering: The steering may feel stiff or loose, making it challenging to turn the wheel smoothly.
  2. Erratic steering behavior: The vehicle may veer to one side unexpectedly or wander on the road, even when the steering wheel is held steady.
  3. Loss of control: A faulty steering system can lead to a loss of control over the vehicle's direction, especially during maneuvers such as turning or lane changes.
  4. Increased steering effort: The driver may need to exert more force on the steering wheel to turn the vehicle, which can be tiring and result in slower reaction times.
  5. Vibrations or unusual noises: These can occur while steering and may indicate issues with components such as the steering linkage, power steering pump, or steering gear.
  6. Uneven tire wear: A faulty steering system can cause tires to wear unevenly, affecting vehicle stability and handling.
  7. Risk of accidents: In extreme cases, a malfunctioning steering system can lead to accidents or loss of vehicle control, posing serious safety risks to the driver, passengers, and others on the road.
