Power Steering Service
Investigate heavy steering, noise and inconsistent assistance.
Service overview
WHAT TO KNOW
Power steering reduces the effort needed to turn the wheels. Hydraulic systems use fluid, hoses and a pump; electric systems use an electric assist motor and do not need power-steering fluid. Diagnosis depends on the system fitted to your vehicle.
When to have it checked
- Steering becomes harder to turn
- Whining or groaning while steering
- An assist warning or fluid leak
Planning your service
Have changes in steering assistance checked promptly. If steering is difficult to control, stop safely and arrange assistance.
