What steering components are included in this category?

This category covers steering system parts and accessories for Mack CV and GU series trucks, including items such as steering wheels, steering columns, tie rods, drag links, pitman arms, steering gears, steering shafts, and related hardware and accessories used to maintain or upgrade your truck's steering system.

Will these steering parts fit my specific Mack CV or GU model and year?

Mack CV and GU trucks were produced over several model years and may have variations in steering configuration depending on trim, axle setup, and build date. Always check the part description for listed year ranges and specifications, and compare against your truck's VIN or existing part numbers before ordering. If you are unsure about fitment, contact our parts team with your truck's details so we can help confirm compatibility.

Are these replacement parts OEM or aftermarket?

Our inventory includes a mix of genuine OEM Mack parts and quality aftermarket alternatives, depending on the specific item. Each product listing specifies whether the part is OEM or aftermarket so you can choose based on your budget and preference. Aftermarket steering components are built to match OEM specifications for fit and performance.

Can I install steering parts myself, or should I have a professional do it?

Steering system components are critical to safe vehicle operation, so installation should only be performed by someone with experience in heavy-duty truck steering systems and proper alignment equipment. Improper installation or adjustment of steering parts can affect handling and safety. If you are not confident in performing the repair yourself, we recommend having the work done by a qualified diesel truck technician.

How do I know if a steering part needs to be replaced versus repaired?

Common signs that a steering component needs replacement include excessive play in the steering wheel, clunking or grinding noises when turning, difficulty steering, uneven tire wear, or visible wear, cracking, or looseness in linkage components. If you notice any of these symptoms, it is best to have your steering system inspected promptly, since worn steering parts can affect vehicle control and safety.
