Heavy Steering? A Guide to Power Steering Hose Clamp Repairs in Malaysia

The Hydraulic Muscle Behind Your Steering

What to Do if You Suspect a Power Steering Leak

• Check the Fluid Level: If it is safe to do so, locate the power steering fluid reservoir (check your owner's manual) and see if the fluid level is low.
• Avoid Dry Steering: Try to avoid turning the steering wheel while the car is stationary. This puts the maximum strain on the pump.
• Stop Driving if Steering Becomes Heavy: If you lose power assistance completely, the steering will become extremely heavy. Pull over as soon as it is safe. You risk destroying the pump by continuing to drive.
• Call for Roadside Assistance: A mobile mechanic can often diagnose and provide a simple fix to stop the leak.
