Power Steering
At Southern Bolt Auto Care Automotive, we know how important reliable, responsive steering is to your safety and comfort on the road. That’s why our ASE-certified technicians specialize in diagnosing, maintaining, and repairing your vehicle’s power steering system, whether it’s electric or hydraulic.
From power steering fluid flushes to pump and belt repairs, we offer comprehensive services using manufacturer-recommended parts and fluids to ensure long-lasting performance. We proudly use high-quality steering system cleaners and premium steering fluids to restore your vehicle’s smooth handling.
Understanding Your Power Steering System
Your vehicle's power steering system relies on a pump driven by either a mechanical belt or an electric motor. This pump pressurizes steering fluid and delivers it to the steering gear, enabling you to turn the wheels with minimal effort. Over time, the fluid can degrade, become contaminated, or leak, compromising your steering system's performance and potentially causing costly damage.
Signs of Power Steering Problems Include:
- A steering wheel that feels heavy or hard to turn
- Squealing or groaning when turning
- A vibrating steering wheel
- Inconsistent or jumpy steering response
- Leaking power steering fluid under your vehicle
If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s best to have your vehicle checked right away to avoid further damage and keep your ride safe.
