Add a premium power steering flush chemical. Circulate this through the system which will break down contaminants. Drain / evacuate the old fluid out of the vehicle system.
Power steering is the feature in modern cars that allows the vehicle to turn without a lot of physical effort to turn the wheel. Movements made on the steering wheel cause fluid pressure inside the hydraulic pump to move to one side or the other of the pump. This pressure, in a power steering system, causes a piston to move, and that piston directs the gears to steer the car.
When the power steering fails, the wheels of the car become difficult to turn. The wheels will turn, but the force required to make this happen requires the driver to exert much more effort. Loss of power steering while a car is in motion can result in an accident.
A squealing or whining noise when the wheels turn can be an indication that the power steering fluid is low. A drop in the amount of fluid may be indicative of a leak in the power steering rack. Replacing the power steering fluid will only solve the problem temporarily unless the leak itself is repaired.
