                               Power steering malfunctions can cause various problems in a vehicle. The malfunction can progress from driving difficulty and loss of control while driving to complete loss of steering function. Early detection and regular maintenance checks are important. The earlier a malfunction is detected, the more likely it is to prevent the hydraulic system from escalating. Accurate diagnosis is crucial to identify the factors causing the malfunction as they occur. Checking the correct parts is evidence of an unusual situation. If previously unseen abnormal malfunctions occur, it may be due to a power steering malfunction.

                     What are the symptoms of a power steering malfunction?

                     Hydraulic power steering malfunction symptoms can be identified with simple checks. Faults in various parts causing the malfunction are noticeable. Inspecting the steering box and other parts leading to the hydraulic system will help reveal the causes of the malfunction. Hydraulic power steering malfunctions can result from the following reasons:

 

                                    • Oil leaks directly affect the hydraulic system.

                                   • Stiff steering indicates that the problem will worsen soon.

                                 • A humming sound occurs when turning the steering wheel left or right.

                                • Drips of oil under the vehicle are caused by hydraulic fluid.

                                • The steering belts become stiff or make sudden noises.

 1. Oil Check and Change: The oil level is checked. If it is low, it is topped up using high-quality hydraulic oil. If the oil is old, it is advisable to change it with new oil. Over time, the oil can become contaminated and unusable.

2. Hose and Seal Replacement:When hydraulic box connection hoses are inspected, cracks and deformations are noticeable. Replacing the hose solves the problem. Seals wear out over time, preventing the connection from functioning properly. Replacing the seals prevents the malfunction.

3. Hydraulic Pump Repair and Replacement: Stiffening hydraulic fluid and noises when turning the steering wheel are problems originating from the pump. The hydraulic pump, which wears out and loses its function over time, can be repaired, or even replaced if it's in very bad condition.

4. Adjusting the Belt: Over time, belts can wear out or loosen due to excessive use. Looseness is visible upon inspection. Adjusting the belt resolves the steering malfunction. However, if the adjustment is too harsh, the belt will not operate the steering properly.

5. Steering Gearbox Inspection and Replacement: This is a procedure that should only be performed by fully professional technicians. Steering gearbox repair is a serious responsibility. When the steering gearbox is repaired and replaced if necessary, the power steering continues to function at full capacity.
