Understanding the Importance of Regular Power Steering Fluid Checks

Power steering is essential for easy handling and maneuverability, but without regular maintenance, your system can fail, making steering difficult. Autopia Bloomington offers power steering fluid checks and replacements to ensure smooth driving.

What Happens When Power Steering Fluid Is Low?

  • Harder steering: Without sufficient fluid, steering becomes more difficult and requires more effort.
  • Noise when turning: Low fluid levels can lead to a whining or squealing noise when you turn the wheel.
  • Possible pump damage: If left unchecked, low fluid levels can damage the power steering pump.
