POWER STEERING REPAIR SERVICE
The steering system enables you to turn the steering wheel easily. When the car is not running, it is extremely hard to turn the steering wheel. When the car is running, it is the power steering system that helps you turn the steering wheel so easily. The steering system includes power steering pump, fluid, belt, hoses, and steering gear (rack and pinion).
The steering gear connects the steering wheel to the suspension stub axles. When you turn the steering wheel, the powered steering pump sends fluid to the steering gear that applies the pressure needed to turn the wheels.
Symptoms of problems may begin to appear as:
- Turning the steering wheel is difficult.
- Steering fluid is leaking.
- There is a groaning noise when you turn the steering wheel.
If you are concerned that your vehicle may be experiencing any of these symptoms, please Contact Us to schedule an appointment.
Our ASE Certified Technicians will thoroughly inspect your vehicle and will advise you on our findings.
| MAINTENANCE TIP |
| Changing the steering fluid on a regular basis can prolong the life of the power steering pump.
