In a vehicle, power steering is a system for steering which uses power from the engine so that it is easier for the driver to steer the vehicle. A device driven by the engine of a vehicle that facilitates the turning of the steering wheel by the driver. a system for steering a vehicle which uses power from the vehicle's engine and so needs less effort from the driver
A means of hydraulically assisted steering A belt-driven power steering pump creates system pressure The pressurized fluid is then routed into a cylinder that helps push the wheels one way or the other when the steering wheel is turned The two most common power steering complaints are noise and leaks A slipping drive-belt on the power steering pump can produce a loud squeal, especially when turning sharply A bad valve or bearings in the pump itself can make a growling noise Leaks most often occur at hose couplings or on the power cylinder seals In power rack & pinion steering units, internal leaks can be a major problem (which require replacing the entire unit with a new or rebuilt assembly) The only required maintenance for this system is to check the level of the power steering fluid periodically If low, check for possible leaks, then add fresh fluid to the pump reservoir Running the system low can ruin the pump
A steering system designed to make the turning of the steering wheel easier A power steering pump creates hydraulic pressure, which powers the steering mechanism (rack & pinion unit or steering box)
(Otomotiv) A device that uses hydraulic power to help the driver steer the car more easily. Cars with power steering usually have a reservoir in the power steering pump, which requires the occasional addition of powersteering fluid
