Best Tires, Tire Repair and Maintenance in Yuma, AZ

Understanding the Power Steering System The power steering system reduces the effort needed to turn the steering wheel, allowing for smoother and more responsive control. Here's how it works: - Power Steering Pump: Generates hydraulic pressure to assist steering, driven by the engine. - Steering Rack or Gearbox: Converts steering wheel movement into wheel turning. - Hoses and Lines: Carry fluid between components. - Fluid Reservoir: Houses the power steering fluid. Common Power Steering Issues - Low Fluid Levels: Causes jerky movements, pump noises, and difficulty turning. - Pump Failure: Leads to complete power steering loss; watch for whining or grinding noises. - Rack & Pinion Unit Failure: Internal leaks or wear can cause steering difficulties. Preventing Power Steering Issues - Regularly check and maintain fluid levels. - Inspect fluid for signs of degradation. - Regularly check the pump, belts, and hoses for wear or damage.
