If you are driving an older car, than you may start to notice that it isn’t as easy as it used to be to make turns as it used to be. Is it your tires? Nope. Superior Says, if you notice that you are having to use more force to turn the wheel, or that it starts to stick, then that means that you may need to add or flush your power steering fluid. Like many other parts of your car, your power steering works in tandem with a fluid that assists your power steering mechanism. Over time, the steering fluid may get low, or become dirty and contaminated, which means you have to get rid of the old, and add in the new.
This can be easily done at home, but there is more to it than taking off a cap and adding more fluid. The video below is a great walk through on how to flush your car’s power steering fluid.
If you are noticing that you are still having problems turning your steering wheel, then you may want to take your car to a mechanic to make sure there aren’t any bigger problems. Or better yet, why not just hop into a new car. If you are looking for a new car that you can control with ease, then come into Superior Cars.
