The steering system in your semi-truck is more than just a wheel; it’s your direct line of control, essential for navigating every mile safely and efficiently. When you notice excessive play in the wheel, your truck pulling to one side, or unusual noises during turns, these are critical warning signs. Ignoring steering issues can lead to dangerous driving conditions, premature tire wear, and costly DOT violations. It’s imperative to entrust your rig to seasoned mechanics who understand the intricacies of heavy-duty truck steering systems. At Betts, we provide expert truck steering repair services, utilizing quality parts engineered for performance and safety, ensuring you’re back in the driver’s seat with confidence.
The Critical Nature of Heavy-Duty Steering Components
A commercial truck’s steering system endures immense stress due to heavy loads and long hauls. Components like tie rods, drag links, and king pins are under constant pressure and are vital for maintaining directional stability and driver control. Wear and tear on these parts is inevitable, but timely inspection and repair can prevent more significant problems down the line. Our technicians are highly skilled in diagnosing and repairing all aspects of commercial truck steering mechanisms, from the steering wheel to the road wheels.

At Betts, we are equipped to handle a wide range of steering system repairs and maintenance tasks to keep your heavy-duty truck operating smoothly and safely. Our services include, but are not limited to:
