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?

Diagnostics and repair of the BMW X5 steering rack for other cars
Problem: The owner of a second-generation Nissan Leaf contacted STS.Electro with a complaint: the car only charges from a fast charging station, but does not accept a slow charging gun (Type 1).
Problem: We were contacted by the owner of a Peugeot e-208 electric car. After charging to almost 100%, the electric car stopped accepting a charge, and the system displayed a second-level overvoltage error.
Problem: The owner of a Karma Revero hybrid was unable to drive his car for over eight months: the engine would only start for a few minutes at a time, and the battery would not charge.
Problem: The Dacia Spring car would not start or charge due to a reversed battery polarity and a faulty DC/DC+charger unit.
Problem: A well-known logistics service provider brought in three electric vans for repair after their high-voltage batteries failed. In one of them, the battery was dismantled.
Problem: The high-voltage battery is discharged and cannot be charged. The car does not accept a charge because the electronics do not recognize the connection of the charging gun.
Problem: A sharp drop in driving range and the vehicle switching to emergency mode with reduced power (“turtle mode”).
Problem: The problem with the car was the incompatibility of the Chinese GB/T standard charging system with European charging stations. This created difficulties for the owner of the Audi Q4 e-tron, since the car, produced for the Chinese market, could not charge at European stations with the required speed and reliability.
Problem: Failure of Toyota hybrid batteries is a common problem that our customers come to us with. The battery cells degrade, making it impossible for the car to operate normally.
Problem: We received an electric car with very discharged traction batteries. The problem is typical for the Fiat 500. During idle time, the batteries discharged below the permissible level, and the car's electric motor stopped starting.
Problem: The Hyundai Kona made a rather loud noise. The customer diagnosed the malfunction on his own - in his opinion, the gearbox was the cause of the extraneous sounds.
Problem: In a diesel-electric Peugeot 508 HYbrid4 Berline 2.0 HDi 163 FAP (DW10CTED4), the owner encountered a complete shutdown of the hybrid system – the engine would not start, and numerous fault warnings appeared on the instrument panel.
Problem: The hybrid Audi Q7 lost almost half of its electric range — instead of 40 kilometres on a single charge, it only managed 18.
Problem: In the case of a critical discharge of a low-voltage battery (12–48 V), the electronics prevent charging because it is dangerous with Li-Ion batteries. The manufacturer recommends discarding fully functional batteries and replacing them with new ones. This is expensive.
Problem: Failure of Toyota hybrid batteries is a common problem that our customers come to us with. The battery cells degrade, making it impossible for the car to operate normally.
Problem: Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0 SDV6 Hybrid AT AWD - the hybrid system did not work, the VBB was in emergency mode. The car was running only on diesel fuel, the low-voltage battery was not charging.
Problem: None of the car's systems were working at all, it wasn't even possible to raise it on a lift because the air suspension didn't activate either. I had to install the Porsche near the repair box on "goat" stands.
Problem: The owner of a Hyundai i30 encountered a knocking noise in the steering caused by wear on the power steering drive pinion inside the steering column.
Problem: In Opel Astra H vehicles, the electric power steering pump often fails. The cause can be either corrosion or damage to the unit due to careless driving.
Problem: IThe specific placement of the steering rack in many Audi models allows moisture to penetrate the control unit of the electric power steering, causing corrosion of components and failure of the unit.
