Your vehicle’s power steering system plays a crucial role in safe and smooth driving. When it begins to malfunction, it can be more than just an inconvenience—it can be dangerous. If you’ve recently noticed your steering wheel battling to turn, or suspect your power steering is broken or faulty, it’s time to take action before things get worse.
At Natal Power Steering, we specialise in diagnosing and repairing all types of power steering issues. As a trusted Power Steering Workshop in KwaZulu-Natal, we’re here to guide you on the signs to watch for and the solutions available.
Common Signs Your Power Steering Is Faulty
A faulty power steering condition doesn’t always start with a complete failure. Look out for these early warning signs:
- Steering wheel feels heavy or stiff, especially at low speeds
- Unusual whining or squealing noises when turning the wheel
- Fluid leaks under your vehicle, usually red or pink in colour
- Jerky or uneven steering response
- Dashboard warning lights (often showing a steering wheel icon)
Ignoring these signs can lead to a broken power steering scenario, where steering becomes extremely difficult or completely unresponsive—posing a serious safety risk.
Steering Wheel Battling to Turn? Don’t Ignore It
If your steering wheel is battling to turn, it could indicate a serious issue such as:
- A damaged or failing power steering pump
- Low or contaminated power steering fluid
- Worn steering rack or gears
- Electrical faults in modern electronic steering systems
