Replace Power Steering Pump

Your power steering pump is an important part of your steering system. It pressurizes the fluid that allows for safe and seamless steering - if your power steering pump fails, that means it won’t have the hydraulic support it needs to move the wheel fluidly. Control of the vehicle would require tremendous effort, and you may be unable to effectively steer/drive the vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Power steering is a system that allows for easy and smooth driving. The first power steering system was introduced in 1900, but it didn’t become a standard in American vehicles until the Chrysler Imperial in 1951. It is a system of mechanical components (either hydraulic, electric, or hydroelectric) that work together to make it easier to maneuver the vehicle.

 

Hydraulic systems use fluid to multiply force applied to the steering wheel inputs to the vehicle's steered (usually front) road wheels. Electric steering systems use steering sensors & a steering actuator to convert your movements of the steering wheel to electrically powered mechanical movement of the vehicle's steered wheels.

A power steering pump is responsible for pressurizing fluid that is sent to the steering wheel to make it possible to turn the vehicle. Power steering pumps pressurize hydraulic fluid to allow the system to multiply steering wheel movement into the force that is needed to move the steered wheels with minimal driver effort.

If you’ve ever had power steering issues, you’re very familiar with the feeling of losing that functionality. The steering wheel could be difficult to turn, but there are other signs that may point to the pump being the culprit too: squealing noises when you start the vehicle (sometimes that’s a belt issue!), grumbling or groaning noises when you turn, or red/tan/brown liquid leaking under your vehicle.

"I can’t say enough good things about my experience with [Roda].  When I initially sent my car in to have a strange noise evaluated there was a little miscommunication about the cause.  I reached out to customer service and they went above and beyond to remedy the problem.  They were ultimately able to correctly diagnose and repair the issue and even went as far as to fill my tank with gas for the extra hassle.  I would highly recommend [Roda] for all of your car care needs and will definitely use them again In the future."
