Power Steering Fluid

At one time or another, most drivers encounter a power steering problem with their car. Anything from fluid leaks and noise, to stiff steering or hard turning after first starting the car. Normal driving eventually causes your power steering fluid to suffer from heat, friction and electrochemical degradation. The high pressure created when you hold hard turns is especially damaging.
Your power steering fluid, which starts out clear, eventually turns dark with age. Sludge and varnish deposits build up in your power steering system and affect the easy turning and responsive handling you expect from your vehicle.
A Power Steering Fluid Exchange safely removes varnish and sludge deposits. It is also the best way to remove wear metals that slowly grind away your power steering's internal components, including the power steering hoses, pump, rack and pinion and/or gear box. A power steering fluid exchange thoroughly cleans your vehicle's steering system and protects it with fresh power steering fluid and conditioners that revitalize the seals and o-rings.
It is recommended that the power steering fluid be exchanged every 40,000 km. If your vehicle's power steering is showing signs of contaminated fluid, try this service before major and expensive repair work becomes necessary.

  2. Nice writing. The power steering fluid is the cheapest component of power steering system yet it is called the lifeline of steering system and it is advisable to replace it by fresh power steering fluid on schedule to increase life of expensive power-steering components.
