power steering pump

The power steering pump is a central component of the hydraulic power steering system and ensures that hydraulic pressure is generated to assist the steering movement. It is usually driven by the engine via a serpentine belt and pumps hydraulic fluid through the steering system to the steering gear.

The generated pressure reduces the force the driver needs to exert when steering. Especially at low speeds, when parking, or with heavy vehicles, the power steering pump ensures significantly more comfortable and precise steering. The hydraulic system typically consists of the power steering pump, the reservoir, high-pressure lines, and the steering gear.

Wear or defects in the power steering pump can manifest themselves through loud noises, stiff steering, uneven power steering, or leaking hydraulic fluid. In such cases, the pump should be inspected and replaced if necessary to prevent damage to the entire steering system.
