Power Steering Pump
A Power Steering Pump is a vital component in a vehicle's steering system. It helps make steering easier by providing hydraulic pressure to the steering gear. This allows drivers to turn the steering wheel with less effort, especially at low speeds or when parking.
The pump is typically driven by the engine through a belt and works by circulating hydraulic fluid. When the driver turns the steering wheel, the pump sends fluid to the steering mechanism, enabling smooth and responsive handling. Regular maintenance of the power steering system, including checking fluid levels, is essential for optimal performance.
