The Problem: Power steering fluid is one of the hardest worked fluids in a vehicle. Most power steering system operates at 1500 psi. Couple that with intense heat and fluid sheering and you has a recipe for a major breakdown. Not only is your power steering one of the hardest working in your vehicle, it is also one of the most overlooked. The only time that a person gives any thought to his/her power steering system is when they head a whining noise or the steering wheel is hard to turn. As power steering fluid ages it loses its ability to lubricate internal moving parts leading to a whining noise, and it also loses its ability to keep internal seals and o-rings soft and conditioned leading to oil leaks.
The Solution: Using a power steering flush machine we first exchange your old power steering fluid with new power steering fluid. This new fluid has a cleaning additive which helps to remove any soft build up in the system. We stop several times during this step and turn the vehicles steering wheel back of forth 3 complete times to help remove the dirty fluid which is trapped in the rack. We then finish the power steering exchange by installing our power steering conditioners. The conditioners in the fluid are designed to help keep all internal seals and o-rings soft and pliable.
