Power Steering System & Fluid Maintenance
Vehicles weigh thousands of pounds, but you can steer your vehicle easily with very little force at the wheel. Your power steering system makes this possible! The power steering system is often described as a mechanical assistant that makes it easy to turn the steering wheel. Hydraulic power steering fluid makes it possible for the power steering pump to send energy into the steering system as needed for easy turning. Power steering fluid needs exchange maintenance when it gets contaminated, leaks, or at the recommended miles detailed in the owner’s manual.
