Your vehicle’s power steering system allows you to steer a 2,000+ pound machine with minimal effort. Whether your car uses a hydraulic or electric steering system, routine power steering fluid service is crucial for maintaining control, safety, and comfort. At Advanced Auto Works in Livermore, we offer complete power steering inspections, fluid exchanges, and system repairs for all makes and models, including Ford, Chevrolet, Jeep, Toyota, and more.
Over time, power steering fluid breaks down and becomes contaminated with metal particles, debris, or moisture. Left unchecked, this can lead to increased steering effort, system noise, and premature wear on your pump, rack, or gear.
During a power steering fluid flush, our Quality technicians:
Drain the old power steering fluid from the reservoir and lines
Refill the system with fresh, vehicle-specific fluid
Bleed the system to remove air bubbles
Inspect hoses, belts, and seals for leaks or cracks
Test steering performance under load
A properly serviced system ensures your vehicle handles the way it was designed to: smooth, responsive, and safe.
Common in older and heavy-duty vehicles, hydraulic systems use pressurized fluid from a pump (driven by the engine) to assist steering. As steering demand increases, fluid pressure rises to help turn the wheels.
Many modern vehicles now use electric power steering, which eliminates hydraulic fluid and uses sensors, an electric motor, and an ECU (Electronic Control Unit) to provide steering assistance. EPS systems require different maintenance and diagnostics, which our technicians are fully trained to handle.
If you're unsure which system your vehicle uses, our team can quickly identify it and recommend the right service interval.
Don’t ignore these red flags, each one could mean your power steering fluid needs attention:
Whining or squealing noise when turning
The steering wheel feels stiff or jerky
Visible power steering fluid leak near the front axle or rack
Vibrations in the steering wheel
The vehicle pulls or wanders to one side
Power steering warning light illuminated
These issues can often be resolved with a power steering fluid flush or minor repair, but if ignored, they may lead to expensive steering system failure.
