Steer Right In Linden

Virtually all vehicles come with power steering so many Williamsport drivers have never driven a car or truck without it. Power steering assists you when you turn your mini-van steering wheel. Without it, it would be very hard to steer.

Now this power assist comes in a couple of forms. In recent years, a lot of Linden vehicles have an electric motor that reduces steering effort and helps improve gas mileage.

The other kind of power steering is hydraulic. This is the kind most older PA vehicles, and a lot of newer ones, have. Power steering fluid is pressurized by a pump and is used to assist steering. Of course, Linden drivers need the right amount of fluid in the system. If it’s too low your steering is affected and you could damage your mini-van pump.

Also, power steering fluid can become corrosive over time and damage the pump, hoses and connectors; leading to leaks and repairs. Power steering service at Lyco Lube Xxpress in Williamsport includes removing the contaminated fluid and replacing it with fresh fluid.

A word about power steering pumps: Some are powered by an electric motor. Others are driven by the serpentine belt. A worn serpentine belt stresses all of the mini-van components it drives, including the power steering pump, so replace the belt at Lyco Lube Xxpress as advised to avoid undue repairs.

Losing your power steering while driving in Williamsport can be unsettling – just remember that you can still steer, it’ll just be harder. Check with your friendly Lyco Lube Xxpress service advisor to see if it’s time to service your mini-van power steering system.

In addition to power steering service, at Lyco Lube Xxpress we offer comprehensive automotive services including used car inspection, power steering service and transmission service.
