Frequently Asked Questions About Power Steering
Uncover answers to common queries about power steering systems and services, empowering you to make informed decisions about your car’s maintenance needs.
Power steering is a system that reduces the effort required to turn a vehicle’s steering wheel. It uses hydraulic or electric actuators to provide the necessary force to steer the wheels, allowing for smoother and more efficient handling. The system detects the motion of the steering wheel and selectively applies force to facilitate easy and controlled vehicle direction changes.
Common signs include difficulty turning the wheel, whining or squealing noise when you turn the wheel, fluid leaks under the vehicle, and a vibrating steering wheel. If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s important to have your vehicle checked by a professional to prevent further damage or unsafe driving conditions.
It’s recommended to change the power steering fluid every 50,000 to 75.000 miles, depending on the vehicle’s make and model and the manufacturer’s recommendations. Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of the power steering system.
Driving with a power steering issue can be challenging and potentially dangerous, especially at lower speeds where more effort is required to turn the wheel. If you notice any problems with your steering, it’s safer to get it inspected and repaired as soon as possible to avoid loss of control.
Low power steering fluid can lead to increased wear and tear on the system, causing noise and reduced steering effectiveness. It may eventually lead to the failure of the steering rack or the pump, which can be expensive to repair. Regular checks and topping off the fluid can prevent these issues.
