When a repair is made on a power steering system, there’s a chance that metal shavings can enter the system. This can lead to premature failure of the rack and cause a costly comeback.
In addition to contaminants, the working life of power steering fluid is only three to five years, and it is very rarely replaced when needed. By swapping the fluid, you’re helping to extend the life of the power steering system.

Replacement units are available from sources other than the dealer.
EVs are not immune to potholes, curbs and rough roads. Just like every internal combustion vehicle on the roads, the shocks, struts and springs will eventually degrade to the point where they can no longer control the movement of the suspension.
Most EVs have a weight problem that works to your advantage. The weight of the battery and motor can make some EVs 1,000-3,000 pounds heavier than their internal combustion counterparts. This will cause extra stress on the suspension.
The “Edge Code” can tell you information about a brake pad’s friction material.
Knowing why the adjustment is required is critical to performing the total alignment.
The question customers fail to ask is, what is “best” for their vehicle?
The key to understanding the logic of air ride systems is using service information.
Hydraulic power steering is still the choice for some platforms and applications.
Every driver has a different threshold for a pull.
It is important for the ABS/ESC module to receive two signals to verify the steering wheel’s position.
The source of the complaint can be the angles, electronics or tires.
