Typical problems that occur with power steering units include:
Leaking
Most common among power steering faults is leaking. If you experience your car whining and it gets worse over a few days or weeks despite topping up your fluid, it’s a tell tale sign you have a leak. If left unchecked, your power steering may one day completely stop working, in which case you may have blown a seal.
Faulty Steering Rack, Pump or Box
In more severe cases, your power steering unit may require parts to be reconditioned or replaced due to failure. Where possible, reconditioning your unit is most desirable.
