In high-tonnage vehicles, the smooth operation of the steering system is directly related to the safety of life and property. Hydraulic oil leaks, steering gearbox wear and pump pressure losses must be diagnosed at an early stage.
Signs of Steering Faults
Stiffness or play felt in the steering wheel while driving, or a humming noise in bends, is a clear sign of a problem in the hydraulic circuit.
Preventive Advice
Check the hydraulic oil level before every long journey.
Make sure the filter in the oil reservoir is not clogged; dirty oil causes seal wear.
Renew worn gaskets in time with DJS Otomotiv steering repair kits and sealing elements.
