Archive for July 2020Stay Headed in the Right Direction, FranklinPosted July 26, 2020 11:47 AMPower steering is standard on nearly every vehicle in Franklin, MI, these days. Now there are some exotic, new types of power steering systems, but for the most part, the general setup is a pump that's driven by a belt powered by the engine. Contact the automotive professionals at Franklin Auto Service in Franklin for questions about your power steering. The pump generates power that assists drivers as they steer their vehicle around Franklin, MI. Power steering systems use hoses to move pressurized fluid back and forth. These hoses can develop leaks so it's a good idea to have Franklin Auto Service inspect them at every oil change. In addition to providing a boost, the fluid cleans, cools and lubricates the power steering system. Over time, the lubricants and detergents diminish so Franklin drivers need to replace their old fluid with clean, fresh fluid periodically. At Franklin Auto Service, we use a detergent to clean the system, flush out the old fluid and replace it with new fluid.
