Power steering oil reservoir

Power steering ensures smooth steering with little effort. The car engine has an oil pump that is driven by the crankshaft. When you steer, the hydraulics send oil to a piston connected to the wheels. The oil pressure assists your steering, reducing the effort required.

The sharper the turn, the more pressure is needed. When driving straight ahead, the oil flows outside the steering gear, reducing pressure on the piston. The power steering fluid reservoir must be water and airtight to maintain the correct pressure. If there's a leak in your hydraulic power steering system, you'll immediately notice the power steering failing, making steering very heavy.

Power steering oil reservoir

The power steering oil reservoir in a hydraulic power steering system contains the power steering fluid, also known as hydraulic oil. Hydraulic oil provides components such as the power steering with the required pressure to ensure they function optimally. The oil also contains additives that dissolve dirt, rust, and metal particles, preventing them from damaging the system.
