Power Steering Flush
Drivers will eventually encounter an issue with their power steering system on their vehicle, anything from noise to stiff steering or fluid leaks or hard turning when the vehicle is cold. Normal driving causes your power steering fluid to get damaged by heat and friction.
New power steering fluid starts clean but eventually turns dark with age. Varnish and sludge deposits can build up in your power steering system and affect the ease of turning and responsive handling.
Flushing out your power steering fluid will remove the sludge and varnish deposits. It’s the best way to remove tiny metal particles that slowly eat away your power steering internal components such as the power steering hoses, pump, rack, and gear box.
We recommended the power steering fluid flush every 50,000 kms. If your vehicles power steering fluid is showing signs of contamination, do this before it becomes costly.
Dirty, neglected power steering fluid can look like used engine oil and can compromise the performance of your steering system, and in some cases, even cause damage.
