What Steering Joint Repairs Do We Carry Out?
Steering joints allow important steering components to move correctly as you turn the steering wheel and as the suspension moves over uneven road surfaces.
Depending on your vehicle's steering system and the condition of its components, our services can include:
- Inspection of worn or damaged steering joints
- Track rod end checks and replacement
- Inspection of steering linkage components
- Checking for excessive movement or wear
- Replacement of suitable worn steering components
- Advice on wheel alignment following steering repairs
Some steering joints cannot be repaired individually and may require replacement of the affected component or assembly. Our technicians can assess your vehicle and explain the appropriate work.
Track Rod End Replacement in Essex
Track rod ends are important steering components that connect the steering linkage to the wheel assembly, helping transfer movement from the steering system to the road wheels.
When a track rod end becomes worn, it may develop excessive movement, contribute to knocking noises or affect steering precision and tyre wear.
Our technicians can inspect track rod ends for wear and advise whether replacement is necessary.
Following track rod end replacement, wheel alignment should normally be checked to ensure the wheels are correctly positioned. Find out more about our wheel alignment services in Essex.
Steering Joint Repairs Following an MOT Failure
Worn steering joints and components can lead to an MOT failure where excessive wear or movement affects the vehicle's safety.
If your vehicle has failed its MOT due to a steering joint or track rod end issue, our team can inspect the affected components and advise on the repairs needed.
We can also investigate steering components that have been highlighted as advisories during an MOT inspection.
