CALL (450) 661-5157Common problems with truck and trailer steering systems
Some problems are more common than others, especially given Quebec road conditions and normal component wear. These situations may seem minor at first but quickly affect the stability of the truck or trailer.
- Imprecise or wandering steering
- Truck or trailer pulling slightly on the road
- Steering wheel not returning after a turn
- Instability on rough roads or under load
- Constant corrections needed at the wheel
- Excessive play in the steering
- Clunking or grinding noises when turning
These problems are often linked to a worn king pin, defective tie rods, weakened axle bushings, or a damaged drag link. An inspection quickly identifies the cause and prevents further deterioration.
THE TECHNICAL DETAILS
Steering: a closer look.
Open the topics that matter to your vehicle.
Safety and precision above all else
At Ressorts Laval / C.T. CAM, steering system repair is one of our specialties. The front-end steering system is essential for the safety and maneuverability of your heavy truck, light truck, or trailer.
It is the assembly of front-end components that determines whether your truck or trailer holds the road or not. A worn king pin, a defective tie rod end, or a damaged drag link can quickly compromise the stability and safety of the entire vehicle.
Our garage provides expert assistance, from simple inspections to complete overhauls of the front-end steering system.
Sales and repair of the front-end steering system
Our qualified technicians work on all front-end steering system components for heavy trucks, light trucks, and trailers:
- King pins and king pin bushings: the central component of the front-end steering system, subject to extreme loads on heavy trucks and trailers
- Tie rods and tie rod ends
- Drag links and drag link ends
- Steering knuckles
- Steer axle bushings
- Wheel bearings and wheel seals
- Sway bar links and sway bar bushings
- Radius rods and radius rod bushings
- Pitman arms and idler arms
- Steering shafts and steering columns
- Spindle repairs
Each part is inspected, tested, and replaced if necessary to ensure the entire steering system is functioning properly.
Why steering system repair is crucial
A malfunction in the front-end steering system can result in:
- Loss of control of the vehicle or trailer
Premature and uneven tire wear - Unpredictable vibrations or reactions from the steering wheel
- Increased instability under heavy load
- Progressive damage to other front-end components
It is essential to quickly diagnose any unusual signs in the steering system of your truck or trailer. The longer you wait, the more damage can occur and the higher the repair costs.

The king pin: the key component of the front-end steering system
The king pin is the central component of the front-end steering system on heavy trucks and trailers. It connects the steering knuckle to the front axle and allows the vehicle to turn in a controlled and precise manner.
Subject to considerable loads on a daily basis, the king pin and its bushings wear progressively. A worn king pin shows up as excessive play in the steering, clunking noises, instability under braking, and abnormal front tire wear.
At Ressorts Laval / C.T. CAM, king pin and king pin bushing replacement is one of our most frequent interventions, on both heavy trucks and trailers. We use quality parts to ensure maximum service life and safe, precise steering.

A steering problem should never be ignored, even if it seems minor at first. With a heavy truck or trailer, imprecise steering can quickly become a major safety issue.
A worn steering system can:
- Reduce control of the vehicle and trailer
- Increase tire and component wear
- Fatigue the driver over long distances
- Cause progressive damage to other front-end components
Acting quickly avoids more costly repairs and keeps your truck and trailer stable, safe, and comfortable to drive.

What are the signs of a steering system problem on a truck or trailer?

What is a king pin and why is it important?

Yes. A defective steering system directly reduces vehicle control and presents a serious risk on the road.
An inspection as soon as the first symptoms appear is strongly recommended.

Yes. We perform complete front-end steering inspections, including king pins, tie rods, drag links, steering knuckles, and all associated components.
How much does a truck steering system repair cost?
The cost depends on the components to be replaced and the extent of the work.
Contact us for an accurate estimate based on your vehicle.
Why is my truck pulling to one side?
