The steering shaft is one of the key components of a car’s steering system. It transmits force from the steering wheel to the steering mechanism, ensuring precise control. Damage or bending of the shaft leads to play, knocking sounds, reduced safety, and even loss of vehicle control.

In such cases, professional straightening and machining of the steering shaft is required, which we perform at «Autopark-Service» in Lviv.

Why Does a Steering Shaft Bend?

Main reasons include:

  • impacts and accidents (even minor collisions can cause deformation);
  • excessive loads on the steering system;
  • metal wear over time;
  • improper repair or replacement of steering column components.

Even a slight bend affects driving comfort and safety.

How Is Steering Shaft Straightening and Machining Performed?

At our service station, the process includes several stages:

  1. Diagnostics. We check the condition of the steering shaft and identify areas of bending and wear.
  2. Straightening. Using special equipment, we restore the shaft’s geometry.
  3. Machining. We perform precise turning or grinding of surfaces.
  4. Restoration of bearing seats. If necessary, we restore seats for bearings, bushings, or spline connections.
  5. Final inspection. We check accuracy and balance to ensure flawless performance.

Advantages of Restoring Steering Shafts Instead of Replacing Them

  • Cost savings. Restoration is significantly cheaper than purchasing a new shaft.
  • Speed. The work takes from a few hours to 1 day, while ordering a new part may take weeks.
  • Quality. A restored shaft works just as well as a new one.
  • Availability. This service is especially relevant for rare or older vehicles where spare parts are hard to find.

When Is Steering Shaft Straightening Needed?

Visit our service station if you notice:

  • play in the steering wheel,
  • unusual noises or knocking when turning,
  • uneven or «heavy» steering wheel rotation,
  • steering accuracy problems after an accident.

These signs may indicate bending or wear of the steering shaft.
