The Steering category covers consumable and replacement parts responsible for precise vehicle guidance. You will find tie-rod ends, drag links, ball joints, power-steering pumps, power-steering hoses and steering fluid.
Worn steering components manifest as play in the steering wheel, knocking over bumps and uneven tyre wear. The range at Filtry.org includes parts for trucks, vans and machines with hydraulic power steering.
Symptoms include steering-wheel play (delayed wheel response), knocking on rough surfaces, uneven tyre wear (especially feathering) and the vehicle pulling to one side. Verification involves rocking the wheel with the axle raised.
Technically yes, but replacing in pairs (left and right) is recommended. After replacement a wheel alignment is necessary to prevent uneven tyre wear and impaired handling.
At every periodic service (15,000-30,000 km in passenger vehicles, every 50,000 km in trucks). Visually check rubber components (joint boots) — a cracked boot means loss of grease and rapid joint wear.
