If your Toyota Hilux’s steering feels loose o r unresponsive, several components could be responsible. Worn-out tie rods are a common cause, as they connect the steering rack to the wheels. If they have excessive play, the steering can feel vague o r delayed. Checking for movement in the tie rods and replacing them if needed can improve steering response. Another possible issue is a worn steering column o r bushings, which can cause excessive play in the wheel. Inspecting the steering shaft and column for looseness and replacing worn bushings can help restore control. Additionally, suspension components like ball joints o r control arms may wear out over time, contributing to loose steering. If the issue persists, an alignment check and a thorough inspection of the power steering system might be necessary. Have you experienced loose steering in your Hilux, and what steps have you taken to diagnose o r fix it?
