Power steering is one of those systems you often take for granted—until it stops working. At Bonola Automotives in Greensborough, we understand just how vital your car's power steering system is, not just for a smooth drive but also for your safety. Whether you’re navigating tight parking spaces or cruising along motorways, power steering ensures driving is manageable for everyone.  Let’s take a deep dive into power steering problems, the importance of fluid maintenance, preventative tips, and answers to common questions, while exploring why Bonola Automotives should be your go-to choice for all power steering needs.  Common Power Steering Problems  While power steering systems are designed for durability, issues can arise over time. Here are some of the most common problems to watch out for:  Difficulty Steering: If your steering wheel feels stiff or unresponsive, it could be due to low power steering fluid or a failing power steering pump.  Whining or Groaning Noises: These noises, especially when turning the steering wheel, may indicate air in the hydraulic system or a deteriorating pump.  Leaking Hydraulic Fluid: Fluid stains under your vehicle might mean a damaged seal or hose, which needs immediate attention.  Steering Wheel Vibrations: If your steering wheel vibrates or wobbles when driving, the power steering system may not be functioning optimally.  Uneven Steering: This could mean a worn-out rack and pinion or other mechanical issues.  At Bonola Automotives, we diagnose and resolve all these problems using state-of-the-art equipment and expertise.  Importance of Power Steering Fluid Maintenance  Power steering fluid is the lifeblood of your car’s steering system, helping to transfer hydraulic pressure and keep components lubricated. Dirty or low fluid can wreak havoc, causing wear and tear on essential parts such as the pump, hoses, and rack.  Why fluid maintenance matters:  Prevents Damage: Regularly changing the fluid avoids the buildup of dirt and debris, which can damage components.  Ensures Longevity: Clean fluid keeps seals and hoses in good condition, extending the lifespan of your system.  Improves Performance: With proper fluid levels, you’ll enjoy smoother and more responsive steering.  Our team at Bonola Automotives offers power steering fluid checks and replacements as part of our preventative maintenance services.  Preventative Maintenance Tips for Power Steering  Preventative care is the key to avoiding costly repairs down the line. Here’s how you can maintain your power steering system:  Check Fluid Levels: Make it a habit to check your power steering fluid at least once a month. Low levels might indicate a leak.  Inspect for Leaks: Look out for stains or puddles of hydraulic fluid under your car.  Listen for Unusual Noises: Pay attention to whining or groaning sounds when steering, as these are early warning signs.  Service Regularly: Schedule routine inspections and servicing with a trusted professional, such as Bonola Automotives, to catch potential issues early. Signs It's Time for Power Steering Replacement  Some power steering components can wear out entirely, requiring a replacement. Here are the signs to watch for:  Persistent noise even after topping up fluid.  Loss of power assist, making the steering wheel extremely hard to turn.  Visible cracks or wear on the power steering belt.  Repeated fluid leaks despite repairs.  If you notice any of these issues, it’s time to book your vehicle in at Bonola Automotives in Greensborough.  Common Questions Answered  1. Can I drive with a power steering problem? 
Driving with a power steering issue isn’t recommended. While it may be technically possible, it can make the vehicle harder to steer, especially at low speeds, posing a safety risk. Additionally, continuing to drive could worsen the problem and result in more expensive repairs.  2. How often should my power steering system be serviced? 
We recommend having your power steering system checked during your car’s regular service or at least every 12 months. Fluid replacement intervals vary, but it’s typically every 50,000–100,000 km, depending on your car and its usage.  Why Choose Bonola Automotives in Greensborough?
