Power Steering Service

Power steering uses hydraulics or electric motors to reduce the effort needed to turn steering wheels. A power steering fluid leak makes steering difficult and increases the risk of costly repairs. Protect against expensive power steering failures with a power steering fluid exchange service, available at all Uncle Ed’s service centers.

Power Steering Fluid Exchange

Over time, power steering fluid thickens. Dirt and oxidized materials accumulate and contaminate the fluid, producing a thick sludge that damages hoses and other parts. A damaged power steering hose can result in leaks, reducing the amount of available power steering fluid and impacting performance. These conditions expose the power steering system’s rack, pinion, and pump to excess pressure and stress.

An Uncle Ed’s power steering fluid exchange restores protective additives to your car's system, helps recondition power steering hose seals, and extends the performance life of the pump.

How Often Does My Car Need a Power Steering Fluid Exchange?

Uncle Ed’s recommends following the power steering fluid replacement interval found in your vehicle’s user manual. If the manual makes no recommendations, consider arranging a power steering fluid exchange once every 12 months or 15,000 miles. Drop by any Uncle Ed’s location, and our experienced technicians will take care of all your vehicle maintenance needs, including power steering fluid exchanges.
