Common Causes of Semi-Truck Steering Issues

Tire Issues

Uneven tire wear and poor inflation can lead to steering issues.

Strain caused by overloading creates excess heat in the steering gearbox, which can damage the steering system.

Overloading Cargo

Tight King Pins

When the king pins are too tight, it prevents the wheels from properly returning to a straight position after making a turn.

Steering Gear Issues

Leaking power steering fluid, loose bolts, improper gear adjustment, and kinked hoses are all issues that cause steering trouble.
