Servicing Your Power Steering System
Your car has an electronically or mechanically powered belt that drives its power steering pump. This pump pushes steering fluid to the steering gear, which allows for smooth, responsive steering control while you’re driving. Over time, however, this fluid can become contaminated and less efficient.
Signs of a power steering problem include:
- Heavy or stiff steering wheel
- Groaning or squealing noises when you turn the wheel
- Vibrating steering wheel
- Erratic steering assistance
