An operable power steering system is key for controlled and safe driving

There are many parts within the power steering system that allow for easy and precise handling of your vehicle, including the

• power steering pump and fluid,
• steering rack,
• steering wheel speed sensor,
• steering wheel and steering column seal

These components work in tandem to make safe and easy control possible. The system operates intricately: directing hydraulic pressure toward either side of the racks to move the wheels in a specific direction in response to the steering wheel’s movements. Simply put, the hydraulic system is how power steering is able to control the wheels of a vehicle. Power steering leaks can occur, and it should be noted if you see a red or translucent oil leakage when moving your steering wheel. Be attentive to strange and grating sounds when starting up or driving your car.
