Power steering tubing is blocked

Power steering tubing is blocked


Power steering fluid leaks – The first and most common reason to consider with respect to why you are not getting enough power from your power steering is you may have one or more leaks in your system. You constantly have fluid being forced through your power steering hoses at high pressure, so it is not at all surprising that one of those could at some point spring a leak. If this is your problem, you will need to replace your power steering fluid and find ways to stop the leaks from causing you to lose fluid in the future. 

Power steering pump – Your power steering pumps are what force the power steering fluid through the system to create the hydraulic pressure you need. Even if you have enough power steering fluid in the system, if the pump isn’t working properly, you will not get adequate power steering. It’s hard to know if your problem is being caused by a fluid leak or a worn out pump, although some signs of pump problems are a humming or whining noise when you try to steer and the fact that your power steering fluid reservoir is relatively full even though you are not getting power steering. If this is your problem, you will need to replace the pump, so you want to exhaust all other possibilities before assuming that this is the source of your power steering issues. 
Clogs in the power steering system – A rarer problem that can lead to loss of power steering is a clog in your power steering system. In some cases, rust from worn components or contaminants from dirty power steering fluid can combine to create a block of debris that restricts the flow of power steering fluid through your system. If this happens, you will not get the pressure you need for your power steering to work properly. Clogs can be hard to diagnose as they are very difficult to locate in the system. 
Air in the power steering system – A related problem to a clog — although with different causes — is air in your power steering system. The more air there is in your power steering fluid, the less liquid there is available to create hydraulic pressure. This can be a deceptive problem because you may not notice a particularly low level of liquid in your reservoir, leading you to believe you have a pump problem. Fortunately, the same solutions that you try for a fluid leak can be tried for air in the system, because it is usually caused by loose seals or bad O-rings that allow air to leak into the system.
