Thankfully, power steering is the rule rather than the exception. With the convenience of power steering is the need to maintain it and troubleshoot power steering problems, and the experts at Dumont Tirecraft can help.

The most common power steering system is based upon two primary components: a steering box and a hydraulic pump. The hydraulic power steering pump is driven by a belt that may also drive the air conditioning compressor pump and other engine accessories. Typically, a power steering pump will deliver between 650 and 1,300 pounds of pressure, depending upon the pump configuration. The fluid used is a special solution developed specifically for this application.

When it comes to power steering fluid, check the owner’s manual or look for a servicing tag on the power steering reservoir before adding fluid. New fluid should always be of the type recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
