The Role of Power Steering Fluid in Vehicle Performance
Power steering fluid plays a crucial role
in the overall performance and functionality of a vehicle's power steering
system. The power steering system is designed to assist the driver in turning
the wheels more easily, especially at low speeds and during parking maneuvers.
Power steering fluid serves several important purposes within this system:
Hydraulic Pressure Transmission: Power steering systems operate based
on hydraulic pressure. The power steering pump pressurizes the power steering fluid which is then used to assist in turning the wheels. This hydraulic
pressure makes steering easier for the driver, especially when the vehicle is
stationary or moving at low speeds.
