Inspecting Your Power Steering Gear
*EASY*
Inspect the power steering gear occasionally as follows:
- Park the vehicle on level ground with the engine OFF, the parking brake engaged, and the transmission in PARK (for automatic) or REVERSE (for manual).
- Crawl underneath the car and identify the power steering gear housing. Visually inspect the exterior for leaks. A power steering gear housing will be sealed and contain power steering fluid.
- Have any leaks repaired immediately.
Because of the special tools and skill required to repair the power steering gear, any such procedure should always be performed by a professional automotive technician.
