Why does my steering wheel shake while driving?
A steering wheel that shakes while driving often points to a wheel balance issue, a worn suspension component, or a problem with your tires or brakes, depending on when the shaking happens.
Shaking at highway speed usually differs in cause from shaking only when you brake, and both are worth checking. Bring your vehicle to General Automotive Servicenter in Gaithersburg and we'll find out exactly what's behind the shake and get your ride smooth again.
What are the signs of a power steering problem?
The most common signs are steering that suddenly feels heavy or hard to turn, a low or leaking power steering fluid, or steering that responds unevenly.
Because power steering makes turning effortless, any change in how much effort it takes is usually the first clue something's wrong. Have it checked by the expert
team at General Automotive Servicenter and we'll pinpoint whether it's fluid, the pump, or another part of the system.
Can you fix a whining or groaning noise when I turn?
Yes, a whine or groan when turning is a common and fixable problem, usually tied to the power steering system.
Low or old fluid, air in the lines, or a worn pump can all create that noise as you turn the wheel. Call General Automotive Servicenter at (301) 926-4600 and we'll track down the source of the sound and get your steering quiet and smooth again.
