The power steering pump produces high pressure, between 800-2000 pounds, with high heat. This leads to fluid breakdown and failure. Symptoms include groaning and whining noises, erratic steering, and pump leaks.
Exchanging the power steering fluid removes contaminants from the power steering system that draining alone cannot accomplish. Power steering fluid exchange will help reduce wear, condition seals to help eliminate leaks, extend the life of the power steering system and provide maximum performance.
