Compare Lexus power steering repair quotes from specialist garages

Lexus is known for making luxury vehicles designed according to its defining philosophy: "the pursuit of perfection". In the 2023 Auto Trader New Car Awards, it was voted 'Most Reliable Brand' for the fourth time, maintaining its status as a top manufacturer in the UK.

With several cameos in TV shows (notably Breaking Bad, Silent Witness and Modern Family) and mentions in hip-hop songs (Ignition by R. Kelly and Jay-Z's Somewhere in America), this is a brand deeply ingrained in pop culture.

Lexus has also made waves in the world of motorsport, becoming the first manufacturer to enter a production hybrid car - the Rx 400h - in the Nurburgring 24-hour race.

Power steering is designed to reduce the effort required by the driver to turn the steering wheel. Without this system, the steering in your car would be extremely heavy, making it challenging to do low-speed manoeuvres.

Common problems requiring a power steering repair include low or leaking power steering fluid, loose or broken belts, worn hoses and a damaged pump. You should contact a power steering specialist if you notice any of the following symptoms:

• Stiff steering
• A squealing or whining noise
• Vibrations felt through the steering wheel
• Low or discoloured power steering fluid
