Power steering is one of the basic and most important elements of the equipment that improves the comfort of driving.

The main task of this system is to make it easier for the driver to steer the vehicle by reducing the force that has to be applied in order to turn the driving wheel. This is especially essential in parking and reversing manoeuvres. However, in newer cars this system is also helpful at higher speeds. The adjusted pressure makes driving more sure and stable.

Power steering pump

Most cars have a hydraulic system in which the most important part is power steering pump. It is responsible for the high pressure of the hydraulic fluid which is in turn responsible for the reduction of the resistance in the steering wheel when it is turned. The traditional mechanisms that are fitted in older cars are active all the time regardless of the travelling speed of the vehicle. In newer models a pressure valve is applied and therefore the pump adjusts the fluid pressure to the speed at which the car is moving.

A sudden failure of the power steering pump drastically reduces the comfort and safety of driving. The cost of repair is very often extremely high. For this reason, a much more advantageous solution may be a replacement of the whole mechanism. A used power steering pump in a good condition will ensure due comfort of driving and at the same time it will not ruin our wallet. Therefore, a majority of drivers go for a replacement if this subassembly in the event of a failure.

In the category ‘Hydraulic pump’ you will find used subassemblies for different passenger car makes, including Audi, Mercedes, Opel, Seat, Skoda and Volkswagen. The parts have been carefully checked in terms of their condition and operability. Thus you get a start-up guarantee for the purchased power steering pump. At the same time, used parts are available at very affordable prices, so you will considerably reduce the indispensable costs of the repair.
