Steering Repair in Washington UT
Tie rods, racks, pumps and steering gear on any car, truck or SUV, plus upgrades for lifted trucks and Jeeps.
MST Motorsports provides professional steering repair in Washington, Utah for cars, trucks and SUVs, including Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator, Ford, Chevrolet, GMC, Ram and Toyota. Tie rod, drag link, track bar, rack and power steering service is performed by our factory-trained, certified technicians. Steering issues compound on lifted trucks and Jeeps: a loose tie rod at stock height becomes a death-wobble contributor on a 4-inch lift, and worn track bar bushings turn into vehicle-wide vibration. We diagnose from the steering wheel back to the actual source, and qualifying repairs are backed by our 36-month/36,000-mile nationwide warranty.
Steering Services
Power Steering Fluid Service
Power steering service with a fluid flush and refill to the correct OE specification, because contaminated fluid wears pumps and racks.
Steering Rack & Pinion Service
Leaks, play and internal wear are diagnosed, and the rack is rebuilt or replaced with an OE-quality unit.
Tie Rod Replacement
Inner and outer tie rod replacement, followed by an alignment on our top-of-the-line Hunter HawkEye Elite equipment.
Drag Link Replacement
Drag link wear on Jeeps and solid-axle trucks is a leading contributor to death wobble, and adjustable drag links are installed on lifted vehicles.
Track Bar Service
Track bar service covers bushings, ball joints and mounts, a critical component on solid-axle Jeeps and heavy-duty trucks.
Steering Gearbox Inspection
Play, leaks, and mounting inspection on recirculating-ball steering systems common in trucks and older Jeeps.
Jeep Death Wobble Connection
Death wobble is a steering system problem, even though it feels like a suspension problem. Worn tie rod ends, a loose track bar, a failing drag link or improper caster after a lift are the common triggers we see on Jeeps from Hurricane, St. George and across Washington County.
We diagnose the entire steering and front suspension geometry as one system and repair the root cause. See our Suspension & Alignment Specialist and Jeep Alignment pages for our full death-wobble approach.
Lifted Vehicle Steering
Steering geometry changes with lift height. Adjustable drag links, track bars, and tie rods restore factory steering feel on lifted Jeeps and trucks and prevent binding at the extremes of suspension travel.
After a lift install, steering geometry is set on our top-of-the-line Hunter HawkEye Elite alignment equipment, with caster corrected, drag link and track bar centered, toe dialed in. A lift without steering correction wears tires and wanders on Southern Utah highways.
Steering Upgrades For Trucks, Jeeps and UTVs
We also upgrade steering for how you actually use the vehicle. Steering upgrades range from a truck steering upgrade for larger tires to a Jeep steering upgrade after a lift and a UTV steering upgrade for technical terrain.
Trucks & Jeeps: heavy-duty tie rods, forged drag links, high-durometer steering stabilizers and high-volume steering pumps for larger tires and lifted applications, because factory steering components were designed for stock tires rather than 37-inch and 40-inch tires.
UTVs: electric power steering (EPS) upgrades and aftermarket steering wheel and component upgrades for Can-Am, Polaris and Kawasaki platforms, for improved feel, reduced arm fatigue and better control on technical terrain.
Serving Washington, St. George, Hurricane, and all of Washington County.

Frequently Asked Questions
What causes death wobble in Jeeps?
Death wobble is rarely a single failed part; it is a set of worn components reaching a resonant frequency. Common contributors are a worn track bar or loose track bar mount, worn tie rod ends, a worn drag link, bad ball joints, poor caster alignment, unbalanced wheels and mismatched steering geometry after a lift. We diagnose the whole system, and our Suspension & Alignment Specialist and Jeep Alignment pages cover the full approach.
How do I know if my steering needs service?
Looseness in the wheel before the vehicle responds, pulling to one side, wandering at highway speed or clunking over bumps all point to steering wear, as do a fluid leak under the steering box or a whining power steering pump. On lifted vehicles these symptoms progress faster, so an inspection is recommended as soon as they appear.
Do you service power steering on UTVs?
Yes. Electric power steering (EPS) units on Can-Am, Polaris and Kawasaki UTVs are diagnosed, repaired and replaced, and we install EPS and steering upgrades for improved feel and reduced arm fatigue on technical terrain.
How often should steering components be inspected?
Every 30,000 miles or annually for a car or SUV in normal use, and after any significant off-road use for lifted trucks, Jeeps and Broncos. Larger tires accelerate wear on tie rods, drag links and the steering gear, and any change in steering feel warrants an inspection.
Can you upgrade steering for larger tires?
Yes. We install heavy-duty tie rods, forged drag links, high-durometer steering stabilizers and high-volume steering pumps on lifted trucks and Jeeps, because factory steering components were designed for stock tires rather than 37-inch and 40-inch tires. Proper upgrades keep steering predictable and safe at highway speed.
Do you service electric power steering on trucks and cars?
Yes. Most modern cars and many newer trucks use electric power steering (EPS), and we diagnose EPS motor failures, torque sensor faults, steering module problems and calibration issues with OEM factory-level scan tools at our Washington UT shop. EPS faults are identified through the module data rather than by feel.
