Power Steering Service

​

Power Steering which is serviced well is essential for Responsive steering to work properly and vital for on the road safety

Most modern vehicles are fitted with a power assisted steering system. The most common type of power steering is hydraulic, utilising a pump and steering rack or box. These are worked hard with slow speed steering (car parks, reverse turning etc.) and consequently degrade the hydraulic fluid. When this occurs the power steering fluid will break down, often turning a dark red or black. This build up of carbon contaminants harms the seals and moving parts of your system. Over time it will cause premature wear of the vital parts.

Power steering components are typically going to cost from $300-$800 to repair depending on the fault. Most repairs are avoidable with regular system maintenance. The fluid in your system should be flushed every 40'000km. This helps to allow the fresh fluid to do its job and not to wear out the internals of your power steering system.

Our Wynn's Power Steering Flush system actively flushes the entire hydraulic system from top to bottom. Removing the carbon build up and renewing seal surfaces, extending the life of your parts.
