But most power steering maintenance can be accomplished by the motorist or his service mechanic, and special tools usually are not re- quired. The heart of a power steering system is a hy- draulic pump that supplies the pressure to the wheels when you turn the steer- ing wheel. Power steering pumps rarely break down as long aryou make sure they have the proper amount of 'power steering fluid to do the job. Peri- odic checking of the fluid level is usually all that is necessary for regular maintenance. Check 'belt Another item to check periodically is' the belt that connects the pump' to the engine. If this belt should break, your entire power steering system will cease to function immedi- ately. When checking the fluid level and the drive belts, check the hoses that con- nect the pump to the other components in the system. Hoses should be firm and free of cracks. Connections should be tight and leak-free, Leak- age from hoses and con- nections in the system is the major cause of fluid loss, the main cause of power steering failure.
