It's easy for Fairbanks to take power steering for granted – you spin the steering wheel and your car turns. But behind the scenes your power steering is making it easy.
The vast majority of vehicles on Fairbanks s have hydraulic power steering systems, which means that pressurized fluid is used to help you do the work of steering. A pump pressurizes the power steering fluid to provide the boost you need. In some vehicles the pump is driven by the serpentine belt, in other there's an electric pump.
The problem is that over time, the fluid becomes contaminated and can actually cause leaks in the pump and/or hoses and connections. It gets harder to steer and could even cause total failure of the power steering system.
Periodically, your friendly and knowledgeable Peger Road Auto Repair service adviser may recommend a power steering flush which involves removing the old, dirty fluid and replacing with fresh fluid. This helps the power steering components last longer and maintains your vehicle's steering performance and keeps you safely on the road. Your Peger Road Auto Repair technician will also inspect your system looking for leaks and the for other pending needs.
Ask if it's time to perform a power steering service on your vehicle today.
