Steering Repair In Jamesburg, NJ

Do I Need Steering Repair?

Whether it's for your Ford, Chevy, Honda, Toyota, or other make, eventually you may need to get your steering repaired. When it is time for you to bring in your vehicle for repair, come to Platt's Performance Plus, Inc in Jamesburg as soon as you can! The steering system in your vehicle is extremely important while you maneuver through the streets of Jamesburg, NJ, East Brunswick Township, NJ, Manalapan Township, NJ, Monroe Township, NJ, and beyond. The steering system in your vehicle relies on the input from the driver on the steering wheel and the mechanism underneath the vehicle to turn the front wheels left and right. Most vehicles come with power steering, the system that made steering much easier to do. Power steering either uses an electronic motor or a hydraulic system. If the power steering uses a hydraulic system, it will use a power steering fluid to transmit power. As the pressure builds, it moves the pistons, which reduces the effort needed from the driver. However, you may eventually need to get a power steering fluid exchange service. Dirt and debris could contaminate the fluid and could cause a leak and make the system fail. Bring your vehicle to Platt's Performance Plus, Inc if you ever need to get any steering service done such as power steering rack and pinion replacement or power steering fluid exchange service. 

There are two types of different steering systems: the rack-and-pinion system and the steering-box system. With the rack-and-pinion system, the power steering allows the driver to use minimal effort to easily turn the vehicle. The input from the steering wheel turns the steering shaft. At the end of the steering shaft, there is a circular gear called the pinion. The pinion interlocks with the steering arms and when the driver turns the steering wheel, the pinion rotates and turns the steering arms. With the steering-box system, there is a worm gear at the end of the steering column. A worm gear is a threaded cylinder that is attached to the ball nut rack. While the driver is turning the steering wheel, the ball nut rack moves up and down along the cylinder, moving the drop arm, which is linked to the steering arm. If you have any questions about your specific vehicle’s steering system and any potential problems, please contact Platt's Performance Plus, Inc to make an appointment and have our Reliable technicians take a look.
