Recognize and Address Your Power Steering Problems

Do you sometimes feel like your actions at the steering wheel aren't being translated into action by the car? This feeling that you are losing control is serious because you probably are. For peace of mind, schedule an appointmentwith Prestige Tire & Auto Service Center. Our technicians offer experienced, skilled auto repair Kingston NY. With our diagnostic equipment and sophisticated tools, we can handle power steering problems and much more. 
Power Steering
Steering starts with the mechanical connections to the car's wheels, axles and chassis. However, power steering adds electronic, electrical, and/or hydraulic components. Some cars today now have sensors that make the steering sensitive to your speed. Then there's the steering fluid and its reservoir. Much can go wrong with so many factors at play. One way to ward off problems, by the way, is to have your power steering fluid flushed according to your maintenance guidelines. Fresh fluid is free of the debris that forms over time. 
Signs and Dangers of Malfunction
A driver knows his or her car and usually notices if the power steering feels weak or unresponsive. Even if you don't feel a loss of power, you may have an engine light or power steering light come on. Don't delay. You should have the system checked. It is dangerous to drive without this powerful handling aide. Even if the problem is still a minor one, you could lose precious seconds during difficult traffic maneuvers. 
Possible Causes
With so many parts and features, steering problems could be as complex as a structural issue and as straightforward as a steering fluid leak. Electronic malfunctions are also common. Our highly skilled mechanics can diagnose the problem and find the best solution.
