POWER STEERING
Power Steering Repair Abington, PA
The steering system in newer vehicles is much more modern and advanced than in cars made even 20 years ago. Steering in modern vehicles is assisted by power steering, a precisely calibrated pressure system which gives drivers more sensitive touch and control. When it is not functioning properly, your car is extremely difficult to steer or operate and can be very dangerous. There are a lot of moving parts that comprise this complex system and should only be repaired by a trained and experienced auto mechanic. At Performance Auto Sales & Service in Abington, PA our certified technicians offer power steering repair services on all vehicle makes and models.
Power Steering Diagnostic & Repair
While turning your steering wheel may seem simple, there are a lot of functions happening between the wheel and tires. The complex power steering system relies on several components and processes in order to function properly. If one part breaks or malfunctions the entire system is thrown off and your steering is affected. During a comprehensive power steering diagnostic exam, our technicians will inspect the fluids, pump, hoses and tires to check for basic maintenance needs such as a fluid flush. Other, more time consuming, repair needs could entail belt or pump replacement. Once the diagnostic exam pinpoints the exact power steering problems, we’ll discuss options with you and get the repairs done quickly.
Servicing Power Steering System
The power steering system allows you to drive smoothly with almost instant response time. But over time the components can become less efficient and the fluids can become contaminated. Since the fluid is in charge of cooling, cleaning and lubricating the power steering system it is essential to make sure it is flushed every 30,000 – 60,000 miles. If you notice your steering wheel is heavy, stiff, vibrating, groaning or squeaking when you turn the wheel, it is time to bring your vehicle to our repair shop. Prolonged driving on damaged power steering mechanisms can lead to dangerous driving conditions, extensive damage and costly repairs.
Power steering contributes to the overall safety and quality of your daily ride. It is essential to keep up with regular vehicle maintenance exams to ensure any issues are addressed and fixed quickly.
