Power steering pump is the main component of a hydraulic power steering. It is a rotary-vane pump that transfers hydraulic pressure to the steering rack. It pulls out the power steering fluid from the reservoir and forces it towards the rack at a higher pressure. This mechanism is what makes a power steering so easy to steer without much force. If the pump fails, the wheel won’t work as expected steering will become difficult and effort consuming. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
