Power Steering Service
The heart of any power steering system is the pump. The pump pressurizes the power steering fluid that provides assist for steering. A belt that is run by the engine drives most pumps; a few are electrically powered. There are two hoses, high pressure and low pressure. High-pressure hose passes fluid from the pump to the steering gear. The low-pressure hose returns the fluid back to the pump.
