Power Steering Fluid Exchange Service

How Power Steering Helps Driving

When your steering wheel is turned, it turns a small gear called a pinion. The pinion meshes with a rack that runs between your front wheels, and when the pinion turns, the rack moves right or left, turning the wheels. Without power steering, you'd have to turn that pinion around many many times to get anything more than a small shift in tire position, so your power steering system harnesses hydraulic pressure to make that steering much more responsive. As that hydraulic pressure decreases, it makes steering much harder and can result in a squealing around corners.

A Power Steering Fluid Exchange Keeps You in Control

When we change your power steering fluid here at Hagerstown Kia, we remove the old fluid. This old fluid can be degraded, contaminated, or have corrosion by-products in it that make it less useful to the hydraulic system. When we put in new fluid, we make sure the system has enough fluid to powerfully turn your wheels. Then we close everything up, deliver the car back to you, and you get to drive away in full control!

How Frequently Should Power Steering Fluid be Changed

There are many opinions, but most experts agree that every 75,000 miles (or every two years, whichever comes first), your power steering fluid should be exchanged. At Hagerstown Kia, we have expert technicians who treat your car with kid gloves while you stay in our comfortable waiting area. We provide you with complimentary Wi-Fi and refreshments, so sit back and relax while your power steering fluid is exchanged by experts who know exactly what they're doing.
