Can you tell the difference between these two warranties? Most dealerships will include a powertrain warranty with used car purchases. Powertrain warranties cover the engine and transmission.

You should check the warranty before signing to make sure that you are covered.

Modern vehicles have complex steering systems. These are made up of dozens of moving parts, all of which undergo extreme stress every time you start your car and begin to drive.

Like all moving parts on a vehicle, steering parts are subject to wear and tear. And eventually, like all wear-prone parts, they will begin to fail. However, unlike some other parts of a car, steering components are not pieces of your vehicle that you want to subject to catastrophic failure.
