Power Steering Fluid

Power Steering Fluid:

Power steering allows you to turn your steering wheel with ease. The system pumps fluid to the power steering rack and pinion, providing power-assisted steering. If you struggle to turn the steering wheel or hear high-pitched noises while turning, your power steering system may be low on fluid or have a leak. Let us know if you experience these symptoms, and we will inspect the system for you.

Many people overlook the fluid during routine maintenance. Our experience shows that periodically flushing and replacing the fluid is a smart investment. We stock genuine OEM fluids for all the vehicles we service. Using the factory original fluid is crucial because these high-pressure systems require specific fluid additives. Choosing fluids outside the recommended specifications can easily lead to leaks in this costly system.

Neglecting Power Steering Fluid Leads to Costly Repairs:

This fluid is the least expensive component of your power steering system. Changing the fluid every few years can help extend the life of more expensive parts. If neglected long enough, you might need to replace the power steering pump or rack, with costs potentially reaching thousands of dollars.

From a safety perspective, a leaking fluid system poses significant risks. It can make controlling your vehicle difficult. Environmentally, leaking fluid is toxic and can endanger children and animals.
