Steering Wheel Pump

A steering wheel pump, also known as a power steering pump, plays a crucial role in making your vehicle easy to handle and responsive on the road. This vital component is responsible for circulating hydraulic fluid to the steering system, allowing you to turn the steering wheel effortlessly, even when the vehicle is stationary or moving at low speeds. Without a properly functioning steering wheel pump, steering becomes heavy, unresponsive, and potentially dangerous.

The steering wheel pump works by creating hydraulic pressure through an engine-driven belt. This pressure assists the movement of the steering gear, translating the small movement of your steering wheel into a smooth turn of the vehicle’s wheels. If your steering wheel feels stiff, produces whining or groaning noises when turning, or you notice fluid leaks under the vehicle, these are often early signs of a failing steering wheel pump.
