Hydraulic power steering is indeed one of the greatest advances in modern car manufacturing, as it makes driving much more comfortable. However, proper use and maintenance of the hydraulic power steering system require the driver’s attention. But by following some simple rules, you can significantly extend the life of the power steering system and ensure trouble-free operation.

One important rule is to hold the steering wheel in the extreme position for as short a time as possible and not to move when the steering is in the extreme position. This can cause the hydraulic fluid to overheat and damage the rubber components of the power steering system. It is also important to regularly check the technical condition of the power steering system and the fluid level in the expansion tank, and pay attention to any sounds that occur during the system’s operation. Changes in sound or a stiff steering wheel can indicate a problem with the power steering system that requires immediate attention.

Another important thing is not to change the original size of the wheels, as this can cause wear and tear on the power steering system’s components. It is also worth warming up the power steering system before starting to drive by turning the steering wheel several times to warm up the fluid and reduce wear and tear on the components.

In summary, these simple recommendations are essential to ensure trouble-free operation of the hydraulic power steering system and extend its life. In addition, this can ensure more comfortable and safer driving.
