How You Can Know When Your Power Steering Should Be Serviced

Your power steering system may show signs of problems before they become severe. You’ll want to take notice to avoid potentially costly issues.

Steering Feels Heavy

In normal circumstances, your steering may seem effortless. You can make the wheel turn, and the vehicle follows. It’s quite amazing how a little steering wheel can control a vehicle that weighs several thousand pounds.
When the power steering is having a problem, it won’t feel so easy. You may notice that the steering wheel seems heavy and requires a lot of effort to turn. You may have trouble making a sharp turn. If left unrepaired, this issue could increase your chances of an accident.

Odd Noises

Your power steering works almost silently in normal circumstances. When there’s a problem, you may hear squeaking, whining, or scraping as you turn. This is an indication that your parts are wearing out.

Fluid Leaking

When you move your vehicle from its spot in the garage or your driveway, pay attention to the area under it. If you notice red or amber fluid, it could be the power steering fluid. This indicates that the system has a leak. You will need to have the team at Stanley CDJR Brownwood look at it and find the leak. Once it’s repaired, the service technicians will refill the fluid.

Your Vehicle May Not Pass an Inspection

When you take your vehicle in for a safety inspection, they will look at your steering. They may check for leaks or if there is too much play in your steering wheel. If it fails its safety checklist, it won’t pass inspection.

Schedule Service for Your Power Steering

Power steering isn’t something you think about every day. However, it is listed in your owner’s manual as a preventative maintenance task. You’ll want to have the power steering fluid flushed on a regular basis to prevent issues from happening.
The fluid lubricates the components in the power steering system. When the fluid gets dirty, it doesn’t do the job as well. Friction between the parts can cause them to wear out sooner.
