BG Power Steering Service

Vehicle power steering systems are subjected to high fluid pressures and temperatures which rapidly break down fluid lubrication capabilities over time. Under normal operation, continual “wear and tear” within the power steering system produces abrasive wear metals that cause seal and valve damage. More often than not, very expensive component failure occurs before the fluid in the system is changed.

Contamination of fluid is primarily caused by oxidation. This leads to deposit formation in the system which results in wear to the power steering pumps, rack and pinion assembly, and other components. Thus, these systems are plagued by excessive noise, wear and leakage.
