Repair and restoration of steering mechanisms in Warsaw
The steering mechanism is one of the most important elements of a car. The steering system and the brakes are responsible for active driving safety. The clarity, ease, and comfort of control, as well as the driver's confidence in their car in any road situation, depend on the condition of its components. Every car leaves the assembly line flawless, but then its parts are subject to wear during operation. Weather conditions, poor road conditions, bumps, and potholes exacerbate the situation. All this leads to failure, including the steering mechanism. STS Parts offers to repair the steering in Warsaw using the best spare parts and specialists.
Typical malfunctions of the steering mechanism
You can understand that the steering rack needs repair by the following symptoms:
- the steering wheel turns with noticeable effort, blocks;
- there is significant play;
- while driving, knocking and rattling are felt in the steering wheel;
- when turning the steering wheel, extraneous sounds are heard: creaking, noise;
- the working fluid leaks out, and the working elements "sweat".
In addition, in cars equipped with electric steering racks, corresponding signals on the dashboard may indicate a malfunction. All these signs are at least reasons to turn to qualified specialists. Timely appeal to a professional service station is not only the correct diagnosis of the problem but also saving money because in most cases, repair is usually cheaper than replacing the unit.
How the process of restoring steering racks in Warsaw takes place
Our company has many years of experience in repairing steering mechanisms of all types, which are installed on all cars without exception, both passenger and cargo. We are engaged in the restoration of control systems of the following types:
- Mechanical, that is, not equipped with any amplifier.
- Hydraulic, where power steering is installed.
- Electric, in which amplification is performed using an electric motor.
- Electrohydraulic - a symbiosis of hydraulic and electric systems.
The method of repairing the steering in Warsaw depends on both the type of mechanism and the nature of the breakdown and damaged spare parts. Most often, such parts fail:
- Seals, dust covers, gaskets, and other seals lose tightness.
- The steering rack rod is subject to corrosion.
- Electronics suffer from water ingress in electrical systems.
- The power steering pump fails in hydraulic steering racks.
Steering repair in Warsaw begins with diagnostics. During it, our specialists first check for errors in the electronic control unit of the car. Then we inspect the steering mechanism and chassis. The next stage is dismantling the steering rack and diagnostics on the stand. Depending on the severity of the damage and the residual resources of spare parts and the entire unit, we agree with the client on two options:
- restoration of the existing steering rack using spare parts and repair kits of our brand;
- installation of a similar quality restored unit from the repair fund.
Neither in the first nor in the second case should you worry. The condition of the repaired unit will not differ in any way from the new one. We provide a guarantee for all our work, spare parts, and the steering rack as a whole.
FAQ - the most frequent questions about our services
How much does the repair or restoration of steering rack mechanisms in Warsaw cost?

Such an important unit as the steering requires regular inspection and diagnostics - at least every 100,000 km.

STS.Parts specialists advise checking their condition at every convenient opportunity, without waiting for problems.
