Most people under 40 have never driven a car or truck without power
steering. Most vehicles today have a hydraulic power steering pump
that provides boost to help you steer. The pump is usually driven by the
serpentine belt, but some newer vehicles have an electric pump. Some
vehicles even have an electric motor that directly powers the steering.

The important thing to keep in mind is that these pumps and motors will
eventually wear out and the hoses will start to leak. You can postpone
that day by having a power steering service from time to time. We will
drain the old fluid and replace it with fresh fluid. This removes water
and contaminants that can corrode power steering parts. Ask our
service advisor for the recommended change interval.
What about the mechanical steering parts? Is there anything you can
do to maintain them? Yes. If any of the steering parts can be lubed,
your technician will take care of that with a lube, oil and filter service.
Other than that, just watch for signs that parts are wearing out. Things
like loose steering and uneven tire wear.
Worn parts can be replaced to get you back on the road. Now,
sometimes parts can be bent or damaged from hitting potholes, curbs
or rocks. It’s important to take care of these problems early on. If you
neglect them, the damaged parts stress other attached components
which starts a chain reaction of damage.
Steering maintenance is pretty straight forward: Replace power
steering fluid as recommended and fix worn or damaged parts right
away. That’ll save you money in the long run.
