Steering

It's crucial to maintain the steering system on your Mercedes vehicle for it to operate efficiently. Your steering system consists of things like a column, universal joint, and a rack housing. There are a range of steering system types, which include a rack-and-pinion and recirculating ball steering system. Modern vehicles will typically carry a rack-and-pinion system due to the ease of use that is offered with it. Most vehicle's steering systems will continue without issue for a long time - as many as 100,000 miles. Of course, it's important to pay attention to any signs that might indicate there's an issue. This includes things like loose or stiff steering, which can be dangerous especially when you're trying to make a turn. Another thing to pay attention to are any whining or groaning noises or a slow response with the steering wheel as well. The steering system is vital for keeping you in control behind the wheel, so you need to get it checked as soon as you notice issues.
