The power steering pump is the heart of your vehicle’s hydraulic steering system. If it begins to fail, steering can become stiff, noisy, or even unsafe. At Beamer Tire & Auto Repair in Greensboro & Kernersville, we specialize in power steering pump repair and replacement, helping drivers in Greensboro, North Carolina, High Point, North Carolina, Summerfield, North Carolina, Kerversville, North Carolina, and beyond maintain full control of their vehicle, especially at low speeds, during tight turns, or while parking.

Why Is Power Steering Important?

Power steering was first introduced in the early 1950s and has since become a standard feature in nearly all modern vehicles. It allows you to maneuver a 2,000+ lb machine with minimal effort, especially useful when:

  • Parking or reversing

  • Making sharp turns

  • Navigating tight spaces

  • Driving at low speeds

Without a functioning power steering system, or more specifically, a properly working power steering pump, driving becomes physically demanding and potentially dangerous.

Three Types of Power Steering Systems

Understanding the power steering system in your vehicle helps you better manage repairs and maintenance:

Hydraulic Power Steering (HPS)

Relies on pressurized fluid, pumped by the engine-driven power steering pump, to assist steering. Common signs of HPS issues include fluid leaks, whining noises, or a stiff steering wheel, often pointing to a failing pump or fluid shortage.

Electric Power Steering (EPS)

Most modern vehicles now use an electric motor and sensors to assist steering. These systems do not use a pump or fluid, but still require service when components like torque sensors or ECU controls fail.

Electro-Hydraulic Steering

A hybrid system where an electric motor powers a hydraulic pump, reducing load on the engine. Common in transitional vehicle models, this system combines the precision of EPS with the force of HPS.

If you're unsure which type your Chevrolet, Ford, Chrysler, Toyota, or other vehicle uses, our certified Expert technicians at Beamer Tire & Auto Repair can identify and diagnose it quickly.

Signs Your Power Steering Pump Needs Repair

Watch for these warning signs that your power steering pump may be failing:

  • Whining, groaning, or squealing noise when turning the steering wheel

  • Stiff or heavy steering, especially at low speeds

  • Fluid leaks near the front of the vehicle (usually red or amber)

  • Burning smell from overheated steering fluid

  • Foamy or discolored fluid in the power steering reservoir

  • The steering wheel jerks or vibrates while driving

If any of these symptoms sound familiar, don’t wait; a failing power steering pump can lead to total steering failure if left unchecked.
