How to Deal With
Power Steering Issues in Your Car
2
Nowadays, also cars are coming with powerful
engines and many additional features that make
driving more pleasurable.
3
However, people always tend to be complacent when
it comes to taking their car for a servicing or
maintenance session.
4
The power steering of your car is very different
from the traditional steering as it contains many
additional components.
5
There are certain ways through which you can deal
with the issues in your car's power steering
system. Let us discuss more about it.
6
A good engine belt
7
The engine belt is a major component in the
power steering system. The power steering system
of your car gets its desired power from the
engine.
8
This process is carried out with the help of a
belt, which connects the engine's crankshaft to
the power steering pump.
9
Some cars are equipped with just one belt which
is connected to all the pulleys in your engine
and this belt is called the serpentine belt.
10
However, the fact of the matter is in either
case, if the belt malfunctions, or breaks, then
it will definitely affect the functioning of the
power steering.
11
Well functioning power steering pump
12
The power steering pump is a very simple device
and works in conjunction with the other
components of the power steering system.
13
The most common problem associated with the
power steering pump is the bearing malfunctioning.
14
The bearing is an important part of the power
steering pump as it supports the shaft that
connects the pulley outside the pump to the
impeller inside the pump.
15
The worn out bearings produce abnormal sound
with the change of the rpm and you can easily
hear a humming or whining sound coming out the
car.
16
Clear passageways
17
The hydraulic fluid which is pumped into the
power steering system is its lifeline the high
pressure of this fluid is used as a motive force
for helping to turn the front tires with the help
of the power steering gear.
18
However, the actual process for turning the high
fluid pressure into motion in your tires is very
complicated and is done through a variety of
passages.
19
However, if these passages are blocked, it will
cause the power steering system to malfunction.
20
Furthermore, clogs are very difficult to
identify because there is not any method to
measure the pressure in the power steering system.
21
The best thing that you can do is flush the
entire system. But, if you experience a problem
after this, then you should replace the entire
steering rack or gear.
22
Finally
23
From our above discussion, you can easily
ascertain the causes of failure of your power
steering system. These are some of the widely
reported issues about the power steering system.
24
Preventive maintenance goes a long way in helping
you avoid these issues.
25
Still, if you ever come across any of these
symptoms, then take your car to a trusted
automotive shop to fix the issue.
