Signs of Power Steering Fluid Leak

A power steering is designed to assist the driver in maneuvering the vehicle by allowing the driver to turn the wheel easily. One of the most common indicators of power steering fluid leak is decreased steering performance. If you notice that the steering wheel requires an excessive level of effort to turn, there might be a leak in the power steering system. Another common sign of a leak is squealing noise during low-speed maneuvers. Our certified technicians can determine the cause of the issue and fix the problem using the latest technology and equipment at our dealership.

What is the Power Steering Reservoir?

The power steering reservoir is an integral part of the steering system. It is the reservoir that holds the power steering fluid. The level and quality of the power steering fluid can be determined using a dipstick. If you are unsure about this process,let our technicians examine the power steering fluid to determine if it needs to be replaced. The fluid is critical to the power steering function as the fluid provides the pressure required to transfer the power from the steering wheel to the steering mechanism.

What is Included in the Power Steering Fluid Exchange Service?

Once our technicians have verified that your vehicle needs new fluid, we can perform a compressive fluid exchange service. A power steering fluid exchange service includes flushing out the existing fluid from the system and replacing it with new fluid. We only carry the most reputed and reliable brands of power steering fluid.
