Description
Most modern cars have power steering systems. Most power steering systems currently use hydraulic fluid to make the steering wheel turn with less force. This makes driving smoother and easier. All hybrid, plugin hybrids and Electric Vehicle EVs use electric power steering.
In a conventional hydraulic based power steering system the role of the power steering pump is to pump power steering fluid from the power steering reservoir, via the steering hoses to the power steering rack. This creates the necessary amount of pressure required to turn the front wheels easily for steering, especially at slow speeds for parking, or when the vehicle is stationary.
Symptoms of a failing power steering pump Squealing Screeching noise when turning the steering wheel, Whining noise, Difficulty turning, Leaks under the vehicle.
Power Steer Pump replacement allows easy, responsive turning.
