Power Steering Inspections: Ensuring Roadworthiness with Singh's Tyre and Auto Centre (Cranbourne)

When it comes to keeping your vehicle in top condition, one aspect that often requires attention is the power steering system. At Singh's Tyre and Auto Centre (Cranbourne) in Cranbourne West, we understand that maintaining a well-functioning power steering system is not only essential for smooth driving but also crucial for passing a Roadworthy Certificate (RWC) inspection. Let's dive into why this inspection is necessary and how our team can help.

Why Power Steering Inspections Matter

The power steering system plays a pivotal role in ensuring your vehicle's manoeuvrability and safety on the road. Imagine trying to navigate a tight corner or a busy roundabout without the ease of steering assistance—it would be quite the challenge! Over time, components within the power steering system can wear out, leading to potential safety hazards such as fluid leaks, unresponsive steering, or even total failure. Regular inspections help identify these issues early on, preventing costly repairs and ensuring your vehicle remains roadworthy.

Roadworthy Certificate (RWC) Inspections and Power Steering

In Victoria, a Roadworthy Certificate is essential for transferring vehicle ownership, re-registering a vehicle, or clearing a vehicle defect notice. As part of the RWC inspection, the power steering system is thoroughly examined to ensure it meets safety standards. Any faults detected in the system could prevent your vehicle from passing the inspection, delaying your plans and potentially costing more in repairs.

The Inspection Process at Singh's Tyre and Auto Centre (Cranbourne)

At Singh's Tyre and Auto Centre (Cranbourne), our experienced technicians follow a meticulous inspection process to ensure your power steering system is in excellent working order:

  1. Visual Examination: We start by inspecting the entire power steering system for any visible signs of wear and tear, such as cracked hoses or leaks.
  2. Fluid Level Check: Proper fluid levels are vital for the system's operation. We check the power steering fluid level and quality, topping up or replacing it if necessary.
  3. Belt and Pump Inspection: The power steering belt and pump are checked for signs of damage or deterioration. A faulty pump or worn-out belt can severely impact steering performance.
  4. Steering Response Test: We conduct a series of tests to ensure the steering wheel responds appropriately to inputs, identifying any signs of stiffness or lag.
  5. Comprehensive Reporting: After the inspection, we provide a detailed report outlining any issues found and recommended solutions, ensuring you have all the information needed to make informed decisions.
