What are the hazards of not changing power steering fluid?

[Garcia]

Failing to replace the power steering fluid (PSF) in a timely manner can lead to damage to the steering gear and power steering pump. Here is more information about power steering fluid: 1. Power steering fluid is a special liquid used in the car's power steering pump, which, through hydraulic action, makes the steering wheel lighter. It is similar to automatic transmission fluid, brake fluid, and shock absorber fluid. 2. To prevent the power steering fluid from becoming too dirty or deteriorating, it is generally recommended to replace the power steering fluid every 2 years or 30,000 kilometers. If the power steering fluid is found to be below the scale, becomes thin, or the color turns black, it indicates that it is time to replace the power steering fluid.
