The High-Pressure Hose transfers high-pressure hydraulic fluid from the pump to the steering gear. Over time, these hoses wear out, crack and leak, requiring replacement to ensure reliable and safe operation of the power steering system. Faulty hoses can cause hydraulic fluid leaks, loss of power steering efficiency, and poor vehicle handling.
A power steering fluid leak is commonly caused by a faulty sealing in the steering rack, steering gearbox, hydroboost, power hose, power steering reservoir, or pump. This can develop through wear and tear, mostly when these components or their seals get old.
To accurately diagnose and repair a power steering fluid leak, it's recommended to consult a qualified professional who specializes in automotive maintenance. Their expertise and experience will enable them to identify the root cause of the leak and provide the necessary repairs or replacements.
Remember, taking care of your vehicle goes beyond mere convenience; it ensures your safety and peace of mind.
