What Causes Power Steering Leaks?
Time and use are the two factors that cause power steering leaks. High-mileage or older vehicles often experience power steering leak issues as the O-rings and seals within the system lose mass and form. It's even possible for these components to break apart and circulate in the fluid. When O-rings and seals no longer work properly, power steering fluid leaks out.
How to Stop a Power Steering Leak
The best way to prevent a power steering leak is with a sealing fluid or replacing components. We can address smaller leaks with a leak-sealing fluid, restoring mass and form to seals and O-rings. Unfortunately, the O-rings and seals often cannot be replaced without replacing an entire part. More serious leaks require replacements of the power steering system, and we supply genuine Volvo parts to match your vehicle.
The Importance of Power Steering
Like most maintenance for your vehicle, addressing a power steering leak quickly can prevent more expensive repairs later. It's also crucial to ensure your power steering works properly for your vehicle's safety and performance. If you're power steering fails, you may not be able to turn your steering wheel and be in danger of a collision.
