The steering rack is a key element of your vehicle’s control system. It transmits the force from the steering wheel to the wheels and ensures precise handling. When it fails, symptoms appear such as knocking noises, play in the steering, fluid leaks, or a steering wheel that feels too heavy or too loose. At Mario Garage (Cagnes-sur-Mer), we provide professional steering rack repair, restoring your car’s reliability and driving comfort.

When a steering rack needs diagnosis and repair

• Knocking or squeaking noises from the front when turning the wheel.

• Excessive play or uneven resistance in the steering.

• Fluid leaks under the rack boots.

• Heavy steering or jerky wheel movement.

• Warning lights for power steering (hydraulic or electric).

Ignoring these symptoms can lead to rapid suspension wear and even dangerous driving situations. That’s why we recommend a full diagnostic as soon as the first signs of malfunction appear.
