Power Steering Fluid Change Service by Kevtech Auto Garage

Introduction

Your vehicle’s power steering fluid is the hydraulic lifeblood of the power steering system, responsible for transmitting pressure to assist with easy and smooth steering. Over time, power steering fluid breaks down, becomes contaminated, or leaks, leading to difficulty steering, noise, or system failure. At Kevtech Auto Garage in Westlands, Nairobi, we offer expert power steering fluid change services to restore your steering system’s performance and reliability. Our certified technicians use high-quality power steering fluid and advanced tools to ensure a thorough and reliable service.

Why Power Steering Fluid Change is Crucial

Old or contaminated power steering fluid can lead to:

  • Difficulty turning the wheel, making your vehicle hard to control, especially at low speeds
  • Whining or groaning noises when turning the wheel
  • Stiff or jerky steering, reducing driving comfort and safety
  • Power steering fluid leaks, leading to low fluid levels and system failure
  • Damage to the power steering pump or rack, resulting in costly repairs

Signs Your Power Steering Fluid Needs Changing

  • Whining or groaning noises when turning the wheel
  • Stiff or difficult steering, especially at low speeds or when parking
  • Power steering fluid appears dark, dirty, or foamy (healthy fluid is clear or light amber)
  • Power steering fluid level is low (may indicate a leak or contamination)
  • Bubbles or foam in the fluid reservoir (indicating air in the system)
  • It’s been over 50,000 km or 2-3 years since your last power steering fluid change (check your vehicle’s manual for specific intervals)

Our Power Steering Fluid Change Process

At Kevtech Auto Garage, our power steering fluid change process is thorough and precise:

  1. Inspection: We inspect the power steering system, including the fluid reservoir, pump, hoses, and rack, for signs of wear, leaks, or contamination.
  2. Drain Old Fluid: We completely drain the old power steering fluid from the reservoir and system.
  3. Flush the System: We flush the power steering system with fresh fluid to remove old fluid, contaminants, and air bubbles.
  4. Inspect Components: We inspect the power steering pump, hoses, and rack for wear, leaks, or damage and repair or replace them if necessary.
  5. Refill with New Fluid: We refill the system with high-quality power steering fluid that meets your vehicle’s specifications (e.g., ATF, PSF, or universal power steering fluid).
  6. Bleed the System: We bleed the power steering system to remove air pockets, ensuring smooth and quiet operation.
  7. Check Fluid Level: We check and top up the fluid level to ensure it is within the recommended range.
  8. Testing: We test drive your vehicle to ensure the power steering is functioning optimally and your vehicle steers smoothly and effortlessly.

Types of Power Steering Fluid We Use

  2. Power Steering Fluid (PSF): A specialized fluid designed specifically for power steering systems.
  3. Universal Power Steering Fluid: A versatile fluid that can be used in most power steering systems.
