The worldwide exponential increase of vehicles in operation generates, in addition to meeting transport needs, serious problems with environmental pollution. Vehicle pollution means not only pollution with exhaust emissions, but also tire pollution. Microparticles resulting from the interaction between tire and driveway or waste tires have a negative impact on the environment, regarding air, water and soil pollution. Solutions to reduce this type of pollution are not only the subsequent treatment or reuse of waste tire but also the increase of tires lifetime by using more wear-resistant materials or by operating vehicles with maximum efficiency. Driving vehicles with defects in the steering system favors premature tire wear which contributes to environment degradation. The aim of this research is to analyze the steering system components vibrations. The methodology implies using a DA20-RION 4-channels data recorder, a CAT 78 WR - Version 4.018 data processing software and a 3-axis piezoelectric accelerometer, Bruel & Kj?r-type 4321. The resulted data show that the wear in the spherical joints of the steering system can be diagnosed not only by classical methods during the technical inspection, but also between these periodic inspections while the vehicle is in operation. In conclusion, the implementation of a driver assistance system, that monitors the operation of the steering system and detects the occurrence of wear in the spherical joints, would facilitate the extension of tire life and reduce tire pollution.
