Power-Assisted Steering Pump: Components, Function, and Maintenance

The power-assisted steering pump, also known as the power steering pump, is a critical component of a car's steering system, providing hydraulic assistance to reduce steering effort and enhance maneuverability. Explore OEM power steering pump parts in our catalog.

Key Components

Inside the power-assisted steering pump assembly:

  • Pump Body: Houses the internal components.
  • Rotor: Rotates inside the pump body to generate hydraulic pressure.
  • Vanse or Gears: Draws hydraulic fluid from the reservoir and pressurizes it.
  • Hydraulic Fluid Reservoir: Stores hydraulic fluid for the system.

Function

The pump, driven by the engine, generates hydraulic pressure to assist steering effort, reducing driver strain, especially at low speeds or during parking maneuvers.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance and inspection are crucial:

  • Check fluid level regularly.
  • Inspect for leaks or damage.
  • Adjust belt tension as needed.

Signs of a malfunctioning pump include stiff steering, unusual noises, or visible leaks. Proper maintenance ensures continued power steering assistance and driver comfort.
