| FAQ - Answer 1 | No. It is not necessary to regularly check power steering fluid unless there is a leak suspected in the system or an unusual noise is heard. Fluid loss in this system could indicate a problem, and you should have the system inspected and repaired if you find evidence of a loss. Always reference your vehicle's service information for appropriate maintenance intervals. |
| FAQ - Answer 2 | No. You will be able to steer your vehicle if the power steering goes out, but it will require more effort, especially at lower speeds. If your power steering goes out, have the system inspected and repaired as soon as possible. |
| FAQ - Answer 3 | Yes. The power steering fluid should be flushed whenever a component is being replaced or the system has become contaminated. |
| FAQ - Answer 4 | Yes. Use of the incorrect fluid may damage the vehicle, and the damages may not be covered by the vehicle or component's warranty. Always use the correct fluid listed in the manufacturer's service literature. |

| Good Maintenance Practices - Section 1 - Bullet 1 | Inspect power steering hoses regularly. |
| Good Maintenance Practices - Section 1 - Bullet 2 | Check power steering fluid levels periodically and add fluid when necessary. |
| Good Maintenance Practices - Section 1 - Bullet 3 | Have your vehicle inspected if it exhibits any of the following symptoms: unusual noise when turning the steering wheel, a shimmy or shake in the steering wheel, heavy or unresponsive steering at low speeds or during parking lot maneuvers, and/or the steering wheel does not properly return to center. |
| Good Maintenance Practices - Section 1 - Bullet 4 | If you live in areas that experience harsh, winter weather, have the entire steering system inspected before winter arrives to help ensure safer driving. |
| Good Maintenance Practices - Section 1 - Bullet 5 | It is a good idea to replace O-rings when doing any steering system service. Reusing old O-rings can cause leaks. |
| Good Maintenance Practices - Section 1 - Bullet 6 | Always check the specific manufacturer's service information for the correct power steering fluid to use. Different fluids are specified by manufacturers to meet the operating requirements of their power steering systems. |
| Good Maintenance Practices - Section 1 - Bullet 7 | Always check the specific manufacturer's service information for the correct power steering fluid to use. Different fluids are specified by the manufacturers to meet the operating requirements of their power steering systems. On some modern steering systems, brake fluids or transmission fluids may not be compatible with pump components. Using the wrong fluid could cause hose and seal damage as well as fluid leaks. |
| Good Maintenance Practices - Section 1 - Bullet 8 | Keep in mind that fluid color is not an indication of fluid condition. |
| Good Maintenance Practices - Section 1 - Bullet 9 | After any service of the power steering system, always bleed the air from the system and verify proper system operation. An accurate fluid level cannot be obtained unless air is bled from the steering system. The air in the fluid may cause pump cavitation noise as well as pump damage over a period of time. |

| Signs of Wear & Troubleshooting - Section 1 - Bullet 1 | Difficulty steering and/or visible power steering fluid leakage indicates a sign of wear. |
| Signs of Wear & Troubleshooting - Section 1 - Bullet 2 | Hose brittleness or hardness can be an early sign of internal wear. |
| Signs of Wear & Troubleshooting - Section 1 - Bullet 3 | A soft, spongy hose is a more serious sign of wear that indicates advanced internal deterioration. |
| Signs of Wear & Troubleshooting - Section 1 - Bullet 4 | External wear and abrasion can be caused by contact with the manifold or other engine parts. This issue may require hose replacement or realignment. |
| Signs of Wear & Troubleshooting - Section 1 - Bullet 5 | Thick, sludgy fluid in the pump reservoir indicates internal hose wear and the need for a complete flush of the system. |
| Signs of Wear & Troubleshooting - Section 1 - Bullet 6 | High temperature pulsations cause power steering hoses to deteriorate from the inside. The constant flexing and pressure surges result in the breaking off of small particles of hose, which are carried through the system and can lead to system malfunction. |
| Signs of Wear & Troubleshooting - Section 1 - Header | Signs of wear include but are not limited to: |
