Power-assisted wheels make your left and right turn motions more satisfactory and comfortable, requiring less physical effort with improved control. In a power-assisted steering wheel, much of the turning action is done by hydraulic or electric power, making it more manageable to steer in all conditions. How Does Power Steering Work? As mentioned before, power steering uses the energy generated by hydraulic pressure (a liquid), electric power, or a combination of both to support turning the steering wheel. This system is done much more efficiently and effortlessly in cars now than before. Hydraulic power steering systems are the most popular and use the energy provided by pumping hydraulic fluid, otherwise known as your power steering fluid, in a pressurized barrel to drive the gear assembly of the power steer. Since the hydraulic fluid is at the heart of its function, a low level of power steering fluid leakage can be detrimental to the entire steering system and your safety ... read more
