The power steering fluid exchange is not a car maintenance one typically thinks about. Although it is not needed as frequently, it is essential for keeping your vehicle in good health. During a Toyota power steering service at Pappas Toyota in St. Peters, MO, the fluid will be drained from your steering system and replaced with new fluid. As your steering system breaks down, particles build up in your steering fluid. Once your fluid becomes contaminated with small bits of rubber and metal, they will circulate in the pump and gear.
Your first power steering fluid exchange should occur at around two years with your vehicle. If you have any problems with your steering prior to this mark, you should have the power steering checked for any leaks or fluid problems. It is also recommended that you get your power steering fluid changed every 30,000 miles to 80,000 miles. Check with our service center when you are unsure when to get your steering fluid topped off or changed.
The power steering system makes it easier to control your vehicle. You can tell the difference when you drive a vehicle that doesn’t have power steering, as it is difficult to turn the steering wheel without substantial effort. Power steering fluid can leak from your vehicle, making your power steering system useless. If your steering is harder to turn than normal, it’s time to get your system checked for any leaks or problems. When your steering wheel pulls to one side or the other, the problem could be with your tire alignment.
