What Happens When Power Steering Fluid is Low?

[LaGrace]

Symptoms of low power steering fluid include: 1. Abnormal noise from the power steering pump when turning the wheel; 2. Power steering failure, making the steering wheel feel heavier. The role of power steering fluid is to reduce the driver's steering effort, transmitting steering force and providing cushioning. The method for changing power steering fluid is: 1. Start the car and completely remove the old fluid; 2. Pour in new power steering fluid and turn the steering wheel back and forth to allow the new fluid to penetrate, which also helps clean the system; 3. Remove the fluid from the power steering reservoir and then fill it with new fluid, turning the steering wheel again; 4. Remove the fluid once more and repeat the previous step.
