If you've noticed any of the symptoms, such as strange noises, heavy steering, loss of power steering, or vibrations in the steering wheel, there's a good chance your steering rack isn't functioning properly. In that case, don't wait\u2014take immediate action. A faulty steering rack not only affects driving comfort but can also lead to dangerous situations on the road.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\t <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

Steps to Solve the Problem<\/h2>

1. Have the issue professionally diagnosed<\/h3>\n

Always visit a garage or specialist for a thorough diagnosis. Depending on the type of power steering system, different aspects are examined:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Hydraulic systems<\/strong>: Inspection for faulty components (such as the pump or the steering rack itself) and possible contamination in the hydraulic system.<\/li>\n
  • Electric systems<\/strong>: Error codes are read to determine whether the issue is software-related or hardware-related within the steering rack \u2013 both are integrated into the component itself.<\/li>\n
  • General inspection<\/strong>: Mechanical play, wear, or other irregularities that could affect steering behavior are checked.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    A proper diagnosis prevents unnecessary replacement and ensures an effective solution.<\/p>\n

    2. Gather vehicle information and get in touch<\/h3>\n

    Contact Auto Elect \u2013 the specialist in steering systems. For a quick and accurate process, it is important to:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n
        \n
      • Provide a clear description of the issue.<\/li>\n
      • Include any error codes (especially for electric systems).<\/li>\n
      • Mention the OEM number<\/strong> of the steering rack or steering column \u2014 this is crucial for identifying the correct replacement part.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        3. Send in the defective part for reconditioning<\/h3>\n

        When sending or delivering the defective steering rack:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • \n
            \n
          • Fill in the Repair Order<\/strong> as completely as possible.<\/li>\n
          • Pack the part securely to prevent further damage.<\/li>\n
          • Ensure the part is complete to avoid unnecessary delays due to disassembly or missing components.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            4. Reconditioning and repair<\/h3>\n

            We thoroughly test all submitted steering racks for function and specifications:<\/p>\n

              \n
            • \n
                \n
              • If repair is possible, the part will be reconditioned and prepared for return.<\/li>\n
              • If reconditioning is not possible, we will contact you to discuss an alternative solution.<\/li>\n
              • Delivery times are always communicated upon receipt of the part.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                5. Installation of the reconditioned steering rack<\/h3>\n

                During installation, pay attention to the following:<\/p>\n

                  \n
                • \n
                    \n
                  • Always follow the included installation instructions<\/strong> strictly.<\/li>\n
                  • Check the entire system that the steering rack is part of (such as ABS sensors, steering angle sensor, charging system).<\/li>\n
                  • Install the steering rack with the wheels in the straight-ahead position<\/strong>. Avoid rotating the steering during (dis)assembly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                    6. Learning and calibration (especially for EPS systems)<\/h3>\n

                    For electric steering racks and columns, calibration is essential:<\/p>\n

                      \n
                    • \n
                        \n
                      • Perform a steering angle calibration<\/strong> if a steering angle sensor is present.<\/li>\n
                      • Use live data from a suitable diagnostic tool (such as Autel) to check the steering angle and supply voltage.<\/li>\n
                      • Note: A voltage below 10V during cold start or above 15V while charging can cause system errors. Also check the battery, alternator, and connectors.<\/li>\n
                      • Persistent error codes often indicate an issue elsewhere in the vehicle or an incorrect installation procedure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/p>\t <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n
                        \n\t
