Compare Hyundai I10 steering rack repair quotes from specialist garages

Innovation and reliability are at the heart of the Hyundai brand, and the i10 certainly reflects these values. It's a sharply styled subcompact city car that delivers a comfortable and quiet ride with a class-leading infotainment system.

These positive attributes have earned the i10 numerous titles, including 'City Car of the Year' 2023 at the Auto Express New Car Awards, 'Most Highly Rated Car of the Year' at the 2018 Honest John Awards, and 'Best City Car' for the fourth consecutive year at the 2017 WhatCar? Awards. Top speeds typically range from 90 to 110 mph. There are few common problems with the i10, but watch for worn brakes and clutches in used models.

Rack and pinion steering relies on a gear set to convert the turning movement of the steering wheel into the motion required to turn the wheels. When this system is combined with power steering, the configuration changes slightly to include a cylinder with a piston in the middle.

The three top reasons for a steering rack repair or replacement are cracked rubber lines and hoses, loose connections, and failed seals between the steering column and rack and pinion.

Common signs of a problem include:

• Leaking power steering fluid
• Loose or inconsistent steering
• Vibrating steering wheel
• Wheels not returning to the centre
• Instability on the motorway
