Chrysler 300 Steering System Parts

The function of your Chrysler 300’s steering is to turn the front wheels while following the commands that you give by means of the steering wheel. The way that the system functions depends on the generation of the vehicle you own. Modern 300 versions (2005 - current) have the steering shaft routing the efforts to the gear meshed with a rack, which pushes / pulls the tie rods and thus moves the knuckles. The older generations rely on the system based on the steering box. In this design, the steering shaft delivers rotations to the box, where they are transformed into the linear motion and subsequently handed over to the pitman arm. Then, the arm moves the track rod, which, just like the rack, is connected to the tie rods. Both systems are hydraulically boosted.

Just like the designs of these systems, problems they may be giving are different. Generally, though, the weakest points are the hydraulics, the steering shaft, and tie rod links. While the first and the second ones result from poor design, the latter causes troubles because of damage due to driving on bumpy roads. Regardless of which sort of steering problems your car is suffering from, you will find the cure in our Chrysler 300 steering parts selection.
