Power Steering in Your Porsche

The role of the power steering is to allow the driver to turn or maneuver the vehicle without having to use too much effort. The power steering system uses either hydraulic or electric power to function. Without the power steering system, turning the vehicle will be cumbersome, particularly at low speeds such as when trying to part the vehicle. Most vehicles in today's world have a power steering system.

Power Steering Fluid

The power steering fluid functions as the hydraulic fluid to allow for power transfer from the steering wheel to the steering mechanism of the vehicle. It also plays the role of a lubricant to protect the steering components from friction caused by moving parts. Over time, the power steering fluid can become ineffective. If you continue to drive a vehicle with ineffective power steering fluid, you risk severe damage to the steering system including the power steering pump.

Interval for Power Steering Fluid Exchange

Most vehicle manufacturers provide a recommendation for the service schedule for power steering fluid. We suggest you follow this recommendation but keep an eye out for possible issues with the power steering fluid. If you hear a whining, grinding, or squealing noise when turning the vehicle, there could be a leak in the steering system or the fluid might be contaminated. Another common sign is an excessively stiff steering wheel when driving. As the handling ability of the vehicle gets compromised with ineffective power steering fluid, the safety of the vehicle can be at risk. We suggest you bring your vehicle to our service center to allow our certified technicians to inspect the vehicle for any issues with power steering fluid.
