Steering problems are some of the many car issues you don't want to run into while on the road. If you're having trouble steering, you'll want to find a solution fast, and Charlotte AutoFair of Charlotte, NC, is here to help you identify a few common problems. From the largest vintage auto show in the southeast to you, here are some of the most common steering problems and a few quick tips for fixing them:

  • Difficulty Steering: This is one of many areas in which you'll want to start by checking the power steering fluid levels. If the fluid is too low, you should check for leaks and refill the reservoir. Other potential causes could be a loose or worn belt—which will need tightening or replacing—or a power steering pump in need of a pressure check.
  • Steering Noise: You'll also want to check on steering fluid levels and the state of your power steering belt if you're hearing loud screeches when steering at low speeds.
  • Jerking Or Vibrating Wheel: A steering wheel that jerks or vibrates could be traced back to issues with the wheels themselves. They might need rebalancing, or the tires might simply be unevenly or excessively worn. This can also lead to your car pulling to one side or the other while driving.

If you're experiencing any of the steering problems above and aren't able to fix it yourself, be sure to take your car to a professional for proper diagnosis and repair. Once you're all set, you can enjoy the company of thousands of enthusiasts and a plethora of exceptional collector cars at the Charlotte AutoFair, produced by Hornets Nest Region, AACA. The current car show is set to take place April 7-10, 2016, and if you'd like to take part, you can even rent a lot. Head to their website for information on the schedule, vendors, and more, or give them a call at (704) 841-1990.
