About Power Steering Repair
Power Steering Repair
Main Power Steering Parts and Components
Here are the key components of your vehicle’s power steering system:
- Power Steering Pump. Circulates power steering fluid under pressure, enabling the hydraulic piston in the steering gear to move
- Rack and Pinion. Translates the steering wheel’s circular motion into the linear motion needed to steer the wheels
- Steering Yoke. A guide bearing designed to maintain consistent engagement between the rack and pinion
- Steering Coupler. Includes a cylindrical rubber bushing that ensures transfer of movement from the steering wheel to the steering rack
- Tie Rod Ends. Attach the ends of the steering rack to the steering knuckle, translating rack motion into turning movement of the front wheels
- Power Steering Hoses. The high side hose carries fluid under pressure to the rack, while the low side hose carries low pressure fluid back to the pump
Signs That You Need Power Steering Repair
Here are some primary signs that you need power steering repair:
- Your steering wheel is stiff. If the steering wheel is extremely stiff and hard to turn, there is likely something wrong within the power steering system
- Your steering wheel is loose. If the steering wheel feels too loose and doesn’t feel like it’s reacting properly, that’s a common sign of power steering issues
- Whining or groaning noises. A distinct whining or groaning noise when turning the wheel is a sign the power steering system is struggling
- Squealing noise on startup. An unpleasant squealing noise when you turn on the car is often the power steering system
- Steering has a slow response. If the steering feels really slow to respond or the motion feels delayed, this is another common sign you need power steering repair

I'll continue coming!
This was my first time bringing my BMW here. Hayden was great about explaining everything and my repairs were done on the same day. The cost was also very reasonable. I will continue to bring my BMW to FREED Performance.

My wife and I recently moved back to Atlanta and Freed Performance was highly recommended by other automotive enthusiasts in the area, so I gave them a shot. I must say that I am completely glad that I did! The service I have been provided has been top notch. I found my shop!
