Power steering is needed to make it easier for the driver to maneuver the car. It improves the comfort and handling of your vehicle. It enhances the force applied by the driver through the steering wheel so that the vehicle can change direction smoothly and quickly. When your power steering system fails, steering your vehicle will become difficult with no power assist.
The power steering system requires proper maintenance to remain functional. A power steering service is generally recommended every two years or 30,000 miles. Refer to service information or the owner's manual for specific fluid and service recommendations for your vehicle. Contact our ASE-certified mechanics at Kinney’s Tire & Auto Service in Hurst, TX, for expert power steering service.
Routine maintenance of your power steering system extends the life of system components, giving your vehicle better steering, handling, and comfort. Power steering service involves:
The power steering system can be electric or hydraulic. These systems reduce the effort necessary to steer your vehicle and keep it under control.
Hydraulic Power Steering: Uses the power of the engine and a belt attached to the steering pump to circulate power steering fluid throughout the system. Hydraulic fluid transmits the power in the power steering system to significantly reduce the amount of effort needed to turn the steering wheel.
Electric Power Steering: Uses an electric motor at the base of the steering column or directly on the steering rack to assist the driver. The electric power steering system does not use the power of the engine. The vehicle’s computer is responsible for easing the steering process.
When turning becomes a difficult process, or you notice whining or groaning noises while steering, you may need a power steering service.
