The repair time for a power steering system varies depending on the specific fault type and repair complexity, typically ranging from a few hours to several days. For simple issues like loose components (e.g., steering shaft universal joint or ball joint) or minor oil leaks, replacing parts or seals usually takes 2 to 4 hours, costing approximately a few hundred to one thousand ringgit. Diagnosis and repair of motor or sensor faults in electric power steering systems may take over one day, requiring professional equipment to read fault codes. Replacing a damaged steering gear or steering box is more complex, involving removal of old components, installation of a new assembly, and calibration, typically requiring 2 to 3 hours. If suspension system wear or steering column issues are involved, the repair may extend to 1-2 working days, with costs potentially reaching several thousand ringgit. Professional technicians will diagnose the specific fault and provide an accurate repair plan to ensure driving safety and handling performance. Regular checks of steering fluid level, line integrity, and electrical connections can prevent system failures.
