Automotive Servicing and Repairs in Fyshwick

Experiencing knocking or clunking sounds as you turn the steering wheel? Such issues can significantly impact your driving experience and safety. MIT Automotive, located in Fyshwick, ACT, specialises in diagnosing and resolving power steering problems, ensuring smooth and reliable vehicle performance.

One prevalent issue that drivers face is a knocking or clunking noise when turning the steering wheel. This sound can often be traced back to a worn bush between the steering column and the electric steering motor. Unfortunately, this is a common problem, but the good news is that it can be resolved by replacing the worn bushing.

At MIT Automotive, we have extensive experience in handling this issue, having replaced several bushings just in the last month. If you're encountering this problem, don’t hesitate to reach out to our expert team for a quote and professional service.

A vehicle’s steering system comprises several critical components, each playing a vital role in ensuring precise and effortless steering. Here’s a breakdown of the key parts:

Understanding the Steering System Components

Steering Wheel - The steering wheel is the driver's primary interface with the steering system. It transmits the driver’s input to the steering column and ultimately to the wheels.

Steering Column - The steering column connects the steering wheel to the steering mechanism. It often houses a collapsible section for safety in case of a collision.

Steering Gear - The steering gear converts the rotational motion of the steering wheel into the linear motion needed to turn the wheels. It can be either a rack-and-pinion system or a recirculating ball system, with the former being more common in modern vehicles.

Power Steering Pump - In vehicles equipped with hydraulic power steering, the power steering pump pressurises the hydraulic fluid, which helps in reducing the effort needed to turn the steering wheel.

Electric Steering Motor - In electric power steering systems, an electric motor assists the steering mechanism. This motor can be located on the steering column or the steering rack.

Tie Rods - Tie rods connect the steering gear to the steering knuckles, allowing the wheels to turn as the steering gear moves.

Bushings - Bushings are crucial components that provide cushioning and reduce friction between moving parts. A worn bushing, particularly between the steering column and the electric steering motor, can lead to the knocking or clunking noises often reported by drivers.
