The Importance Of Power Steering System Flushes And Leak Inspections
The power steering system, like many vehicle systems, requires routine maintenance to remain in good shape. The primary service that is required is a power steering flush. If the seals of the power steering system begin to break down small chunks of debris could end up in the fluid, resulting in poor steering capabilities.
