Steering

The steering system in your Toyota is extremely important for the operation of your vehicle. The power steering works by generating pressure that causes pistons to move, helping gears to steer your car. If this steering system starts to fail, your car's wheels will become a lot harder to turn, which can put you at risk for an accident on the road. Knowing some of the signs that this system is going bad can help you catch problems sooner and make repairs as needed. If you notice when you're turning the wheels loud squealing or whining noises, this can be a sign of low power steering fluid. If this fluid level drops, it could be pointing you in the direction of a leak in your power steering rack. Another sign of a steering system problem are the wheels on your car becoming difficult to turn. This could come from damage to the power steering belt or again, low fluid. Another thing to look out for is vibrations through your steering wheel when you're idling. This is likely caused by a damaged steering belt under the hood of your car.
