Maintenance Tips
Never high-pressure wash or steam clean a power steering
pump while off the vehicle. Doing so could force contaminants
inside the pump and cause it to malfunction.
Regularly check the fluid and the fluid level in the power
steering reservoir.
Encourage drivers to report any malfunctions or accidents
which could have damaged steering components.
Do not attempt to weld any broken steering component.
Replace the component with original equipment only.
Do not cold-straighten, hot straighten, or bend any steering
system component.
Always clean off around the reservoir filler cap before you
remove it. Prevent dirt or other foreign matter from
entering the hydraulic system.
Investigate and correct any external leaks, no matter how
minor.
Replace reservoir filters according to requirements.
If you feel the vehicle is developing excessively high
hydraulic fluid temperatures, consult with your vehicle
manufacturer for recommendations.
