At Meta Mechanics, we are committed to providing premium automotive repair services, especially for high-end vehicles like the Range Rover Sport. Recently, we addressed a power steering failure in a Range Rover Sport in Dubai. Power steering failure can cause steering to become very heavy and difficult, making it unsafe and uncomfortable to drive. Our team of skilled technicians identified the underlying causes and implemented effective solutions to restore smooth, effortless steering for the vehicle.
Issues Found During Power Steering Failure Repair:
- Low or Leaking Power Steering Fluid: One of the most common causes of power steering failure is low or leaking power steering fluid, which results in a lack of hydraulic pressure needed for smooth steering.
Solution:
We thoroughly inspected the power steering system, identified the source of the leak, and replaced any worn or damaged seals and hoses. Afterward, we topped up the fluid to the correct level using high-quality fluid to ensure proper pressure and performance. - Faulty Power Steering Pump: The power steering pump was found to be malfunctioning, causing insufficient fluid flow and poor steering response, especially at lower speeds or when turning sharply.
Solution:
We replaced the faulty power steering pump with a new OEM part, ensuring that the pump effectively circulates the power steering fluid and provides the necessary pressure for smooth, responsive steering. - Damaged Steering Rack: The steering rack itself showed signs of wear and internal damage, which contributed to the power steering failure and caused increased resistance when turning the wheel.
Solution:
We replaced the damaged steering rack with a high-quality OEM replacement, ensuring that all components of the steering system function correctly, restoring smooth and precise handling. - Worn Out Steering Column Bearings: The bearings in the steering column were found to be worn, which contributed to the stiffness and resistance in the steering mechanism.
Solution:
We replaced the worn bearings with new, high-quality components to restore smooth steering and eliminate the additional resistance, ensuring that the steering wheel turned freely and without effort. - Electrical Issues with Electric Power Steering (EPS) System: For Range Rover Sport models equipped with an electric power steering (EPS) system, electrical faults in the system can cause power steering failure, leading to a heavy steering wheel.
Solution:
We conducted a thorough diagnosis of the EPS system and found that a faulty sensor or electrical connection was causing the issue. We repaired or replaced the faulty parts, restoring proper electrical function and ensuring the power steering system worked seamlessly.
