Safety Tip - Steering components
Worn steering components can contribute to unstable braking, poor control while turning and loss of control at high speeds. Malfunctioning of shock absorbers can reduce tyre contact with the road and can destabilise the vehicle on rough surfaces or in the event of hitting a pothole at high or low speeds. Correctly operating steering components are critical to maintain vehicle control in both normal driving and in collision avoidance situations.
