Steering axle: task, structure and importance for driving safety

The steering axle connects the chassis, wheels and steering and ensures that your steering movements are transferred precisely to the wheels. The steering on the steering axle ensures directional stability, driving stability and safe cornering behaviour. There are different designs depending on the vehicle type, but the following always applies: only an intact steering axle keeps your vehicle reliably on track and supports smooth, controlled driving behaviour.

Steering axle defect: recognise symptoms early and maintain comfort

Typical symptoms of a worn steering axle include rattling noises, the vehicle pulling to one side or an unsteady steering feel. With suitable steering axle parts and high-quality accessories, you can restore stable driving behaviour and benefit from a longer component service life. If you react early to the first signs, your driving comfort will remain high and you will be more relaxed on the road.

Repair or replace the steering axle

When is it worth repairing the steering axle?

A repair can make sense if only individual components are affected, for example worn bearings or joints. It is often sufficient to replace these components, service the steering axle and fit additional accessories if necessary. It is important to have a professional diagnosis carried out in a workshop so that it is clear whether a repair is still technically and economically advisable.

When does it make sense to replace the steering axle?

A complete replacement is advisable if there is noticeable play in the steering, severe corrosion or the steering axle is categorised as safety-critical. In such cases, replacing the entire steering axle is usually the better solution than just replacing individual parts. In the shop, you will find suitable steering axles as well as specifically selected spare parts, for example from METZGER, to professionally carry out the replacement on your vehicle.

Find the right steering axle and order conveniently online

To find the right steering axle quickly, simply use the vehicle selection in the shop and enter the manufacturer, model and ideally the HSN/TSN from your vehicle registration document. You will then only be shown steering axles and corresponding car parts that fit your vehicle. You can compare different versions, select suitable spare parts and accessories and conveniently order your new steering axle online.
