Steering You In The Right Direction
A faulty clutch can cause slow engagement, odd smells or even complete failure — and steering issues can affect not only handling but also safety. That’s why we take the time to assess every component, from hydraulic systems and cables to power steering pumps, tie rods and racks. If your car’s hard to steer, pulling to one side, or your clutch is slipping or sticking, it’s worth getting checked sooner rather than later.
We work with trusted parts suppliers to ensure durability, and we always explain what’s happening in plain language so you can make an informed decision. Whether you need a full replacement or just a simple adjustment, we’ll sort it efficiently.
To get back in control of your clutch or steering, call 0418 432 855 today.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know if my clutch needs replacing?
Common signs include gear slipping, a burning smell, difficulty changing gears, a soft clutch pedal, or unusual noises when pressing the pedal. Over time, clutch components wear down from friction and heat. Ignoring early signs can lead to sudden failure and higher repair costs. A qualified mechanic can confirm the issue through a road test and inspection.
What causes steering to feel loose or heavy?
Loose steering can come from worn tie rods, ball joints or rack-and-pinion components, while heavy steering may point to low power steering fluid, a failing pump or belt issues. Driving with steering issues can be dangerous, especially at speed or under load. It's important to have the system inspected if you notice any change in handling or feel.
Is it safe to drive with steering problems?
No — steering issues can make your car unpredictable and increase the risk of an accident. Even minor issues, like vibration or slight pull, can worsen quickly. Power steering failure can also make it hard to turn the wheel at low speeds, putting both you and others at risk. Any change in how your steering feels should be checked promptly.
