Steering and Driving Safety - GTA

"If you need to add fluid more than once or twice a year, have the system checked for leaks. These systems are easily damaged if you drive when the fluid is very low" - familycar.com

Problems with your steering occur gradually so pay attention to small changes in the way your car handles, especially when you turn the wheel. Here are the most common warning signs.


What is that growling Noise?
If your steering growls when you turn the wheel, your power steering fluid may be low. You may have a leak in the power steering system.

What is that Buzzing?
If your steering buzzes when you turn at slow speeds. It may be caused by low power steering fluid.

What is that Squealing?
If you hear a high-pitched squeal. Your drive belt is probably slipping on the Power steering Unit.

What is that Moaning?
If you hear a moaning noise when you turn the wheel, your power steering pump may be about to fail.

Why is it difficult to steer?
If you have too much play or looseness in the steering it may indicate worn parts.

Why is my steering pulling to the left or right?
Your suspension may be out of alignment. Unequal tire pressure may also be the cause.

Why is the steering wobbling?
Your tires could be the problem. Check to see that your tire pressures are the same and inspect your tires for any damage. If you feel vibrations through the steering wheel, a tire may be out of balance.

Why is the steering suddenly heavy?
If it takes more effort to turn the wheel, you may have lost your power steering belt or run out of power steering fluid.

If you notice any of these warning signs, speak to us at North York Chrysler JeepDodge Ram Fiat Specialist immediately.

How do I look after my steering?
Outside of your scheduled maintenance visits, you should check your power steering fluid once a month.

Your Owner's Manual will show you where to find the power steering resevoir. There is a dipstick in the cap. Check to see if the fluid is within the correct range. If you have to add fluid more than once a year you may have a leak.
