At Expedited Truck Alignment and Tires, we identify and repair steering issues before they turn into costly or dangerous problems.

What We Offer for Truck Steering System Diagnostics & Repair

Your steering system is at the core of safe truck operation. Loose steering, stiffness, vibration, or wandering can put your driver, cargo, and equipment at risk. Our steering diagnostics and repair service is designed to find the true cause of these issues—not just mask the symptoms.

We inspect and diagnose steering gears, pumps, drag links, steering shafts, tie rods, kingpins, and related components. Using precise testing and real-road feedback, we determine whether your steering concerns are caused by worn parts, misalignment, hydraulic issues, or suspension problems.

From minor corrections to complete steering component replacement, we provide reliable repair solutions that restore straight tracking, smoother turning, and predictable handling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1: What are common signs of steering system problems?

Excessive play in the steering wheel, stiffness, popping or clunking when turning, wandering, vibration, and difficulty keeping the truck straight.

Question 2: Can alignment alone fix steering issues?

Not always. While alignment can correct pull and tracking, worn steering components must be repaired or replaced for a complete solution.

Question 3: Do you repair steering gears and pumps?

Yes. We diagnose and repair or replace steering gears, pumps, and related hydraulic components as needed.

Question 4: Is it safe to drive with steering problems?

No. Steering issues can worsen unexpectedly and lead to loss of control. We recommend having any steering concern inspected as soon as possible.
