Steering repairs in North Parramatta
Steering repairs at Vertex Automotive, 7 Daking Street, North Parramatta, cover steering racks, tie rod ends and power steering leaks, each quoted in writing after a check on the hoist and a road test. Play at the wheel, a knock when you turn or a whine from the pump are the usual signs.
Steering wears slowly, so the first sign is usually vague: a little play at the wheel, a knock on a tight turn, or a car that will not hold a straight line.
More detail
We check it on the hoist: tie rod ends and rack ends for play, the rack and its boots for leaks, and the power steering pump, hoses and fluid.
You get the worn part named and priced. A leaking hose is a different job from a rack, and we do not quote a rack until we know it is the rack.

How much do steering repairs cost?
It depends on the part. Tie rod ends are a small job; a steering rack is a bigger one, and the price changes a lot between cars. We find the fault, then quote it in writing before any work starts.
Is a power steering leak urgent?
It should be looked at soon. A pump that runs low on fluid whines, then wears, and the steering can go heavy without much warning. Check the level and book it in.
Will worn steering fail a pink slip?
It can. The pink slip checks the steering on the hoist. If the car fails on work we do, you get a written quote on the spot.
Does anything else need doing after the repair?
After new tie rod ends or a rack, the direction the front wheels point has to be reset on a specialist machine. We do not have one, so the quote says so and you have that done straight after.
What are the signs of worn steering?
- Play or looseness at the steering wheel
- A knock or clunk when you turn
- Heavy steering, or heavy only when cold
- A whine from the pump when you turn the wheel
- Power steering fluid under the front of the car
- The car wanders and needs constant correction
