Replacement Power Steering Pumps for cars, vans and 4x4s

Power Steering Pump Replacement

The power steering pump is the part of the car used to pass the power steering fluid over to the steering rack. This allows the driver to have control of the car without experiencing 'weight' in the steering. The pump is also connected to the vehicle's engine with a belt and this is what drives it. Hydraulic fluid is moved around at high pressures and the speed at which the driver is travelling will affect the amount of fluid that is pumped to the steering rack.

There is still a direct connection between the steering wheel and the linkage for the car's wheels, so if there is a problem with the power steering the vehicle can be driven - although this will require more effort. In general terms the parts of a power-steering pump are easily replaced and problems with the system occur less frequently than more commonplace issues such as punctured tyres and flat batteries. However it is still advisable to make regular checks of the power steering fluid levels and consult an expert in the event of poor steering performance.
