Power steering (abbreviation GUR) - the hydraulic system of a car, related to the main part of the steering mechanism. The main purpose is to facilitate the control of the vehicle at the moment of movement, ensuring stability on the road and maintaining "feedback".

Type of working fluid for power steering - PSF-III.

1.  Engage I gear (translate the automatic transmission selector to the “P” position) and install the chocks “boots” under the rear wheels.

2. Raise the front of the car until the wheels are off the ground and place the car stand under the front of the car.

Note:

It is necessary to raise the front of the car in order to be able to freely rotate the wheels when the engine is not running.

3. Open the hood and place it on the stops.

6. Squeeze the edges of the hose clamp with pliers, disconnect the hose and drain the liquid into a previously prepared container. Cover the hole in the tank with polyethylene.

Note:

If necessary, you can remove the power steering reservoir. To do this, simply pull it up overcoming its two latches.

7. Turn on the starter and turn the steering wheel to the stop two or three times in both directions. At this time, the old power steering oil should begin to come out through the drain hose.

Note:

Also, some people change the oil without pumping it out of the tank, but simply replacing the liquid in the power steering. The operations are the same. Jack up the car, disconnect the hose from the tank and insert it into an empty container. Next, the assistant turns the steering wheel left and right, and the performer pours oil into the tank (two liters of oil will be enough for you to completely replace it).

In general, it is considered correct to use oil topping up, that is, filling with replacement, since in this case there is no likelihood of a power steering pump failure. When dry, this pump whistles and fails very quickly.

8. Install all removed parts in the reverse order of removal.

9. Fill in new Santa Fe power steering oil as described in this article .

10. Bleed air from the power steering system as described in this article .
