Your power steering pump is the heart of your vehicle’s steering system. It generates the hydraulic pressure that makes turning the wheel feel light and responsive.
In this video, Arnold Auto Repair guides you through the operation of the power steering pump, the signs it may be failing, and the steps our technicians take to repair or replace it.
When the power steering pump begins to wear out, you might hear whining or groaning noises while turning, notice stiff or jerky steering, or see fluid leaking under the vehicle.
A failing pump can make steering more difficult and may eventually lead to a complete loss of assist, making the vehicle unsafe to drive.
At Arnold Auto Repair, our ASE-certified technicians perform full power steering system inspections to check fluid condition, pump pressure, and for any leaks in hoses or seals.
If replacement is necessary, we install a high-quality pump tailored to your vehicle’s specifications and refill the system with the correct hydraulic fluid. We then bleed the system and test the steering operation to ensure smooth and quiet performance.
Maintaining a healthy power steering pump not only improves steering control but also helps prevent costly damage to the rest of the system.
