Maintenance Tips for Power Steering System

Check Fluid Levels Regularly – Low fluid can lead to increased wear and potential system damage.
Listen for Unusual Noises – Whining or groaning sounds often indicate fluid contamination or pump issues.
Inspect for Leaks – Look under your vehicle for red or amber fluid leaks from the power steering system.
Flush Fluid Periodically – Changing fluid every 15,000 to 25,000 miles helps prevent buildup and wear.
Avoid Hard Steering Maneuvers – Excessive force on the wheel can strain components and accelerate wear.

A responsive, smooth steering system is crucial for safe, effortless driving, but over time, old fluid can become contaminated and leaks may develop, affecting performance. By flushing out worn fluid and replacing it with high-quality lubrication, you restore precision, improve handling, and prevent costly steering system damage. A properly maintained power steering system gives you confidence on every turn, ensuring optimal control and safety.
