When you are driving your Acura, you often do not think about the fluid and system that is behind your ability to steer your Acura in the direction you need to go. Oftentimes, many owners do not consider the need for a power steering system flush, fluid exchange, and conditioning service to preserve the power steering in their Acura. Certified technicians will flush the power steering of your Acura to eliminate any residue and build-up that may have developed. Also, this process allows them to identify any potential leaks. During the fluid exchange, the power steering fluid is simply swapped with the used fluid for fresh fluid. In the conditioning stage of the service, the entire system is sealed to eliminate leakage in the future.
You should have the Acura power steering system flush, fluid exchange, and conditioning service conducted to preserve the longevity of your Acura. Allowing the power steering to properly function promotes further functioning of the engine and other operations within your vehicle. Flushing the system will identify any problems with the power steering system, and the conditioning stage allows technicians to seal and repair these issues. If you are hearing loud noises when attempting to steer, then it is time to have the system checked and serviced.
If you choose not to have your Acura properly serviced with this power steering system service, you may find small operations such as steering while driving to be difficult. This is often due to leaks in the system that were not identified and repaired, causing the fluid to escape the system. All major operations under your Acura require fluid or oil of some type, and the power steering is no exception. Not having the fluid exchanged approximately every 65,000- 70,000 miles will diminish the performance of the power steering even without leaks because the fluid has been used until its properties are broken down into sludge.
