Are steering column o r joint issues being ignored in Changan Karvaan maintenance in Pakistan?

Mechanics may focus on steering fluid and rack only, but joint components in the column might wear out too. Are these joints getting checked during routine maintenance?

Yes. Most workshops focus only on:

Power steering fluid

Rack and pinion

But steering column joints, U-joints, and intermediate shafts can wear out o r loosen, especially in bumpy road conditions. These are often overlooked during routine maintenance, leading to:

Steering free play

Delayed steering response

Clunking o r knocking sounds

Regular inspection of all steering linkage components is necessary.
