Power Steering Repair

Your vehicle’s electric power steering is designed to add additional force to the steering wheel and move it easily while reducing the motorist’s effort.

Nowadays, most vehicles, whether they are electric, hybrid, or regular, are equipped with power steering systems. A power steering system is an advanced approach to the conventional steering system that improves ease of operation and reduces the effort required to drive and turn the steering wheel. Electric power steering (EPS), hydraulic power steering (HPS), and electric hydraulic power steering (EHPS) are three types of power steering systems. A power steering system makes it easier for the driver to handle extremely heavy vehicles and perform difficult tasks, like parallel parking and turning a 90-degree corner effortlessly.

Like any other component of your vehicle, your power steering system is prone to wear and tear and various mechanical issues. Ignoring power steering problems, such as a loose steering wheel or excessive vibrations, can not only be extremely annoying but can also cause a serious safety hazard for drivers and passengers. If you notice any signs of power steering troubles, you should seek professional help from Autopro Service Center before your overall power steering system fails on you.

How Our Power Steering Repair Mechanics and Technicians Will Help You:

Your power steering system’s components can wear out or get damaged with continuous use and increased friction, which can burn out your vehicle’s power steering pump. Our ASE certified technicians will inspect your electric power steering system for loose hose couplings, a broken or worn-out hose, pump leakage, and other potential damage. After a proper diagnostic, they will replace any damaged parts, and perform the necessary power steering repairs to fix the problem.

If you hear squealing, screeching noises coming from the steering wheel, especially when you turn it, the culprit could be a loose, or damaged, power steering belt. Grinding noises can also be caused by a steering gear issue.

A power steering rack leak is another issue, which can lead to steering rack and power steering failure. This is usually caused by fluid contamination, cracked hoses, and cracked lines. Regardless of what issue you may have, our power steering repair technicians can perform the necessary tests and evaluations to find the source of the issue and fix it.
