Power steering systems operate under high pressure and heat, making clean fluid critical for performance and longevity. Over time, steering fluid breaks down and absorbs moisture and metal particles from pump and rack wear. This contamination can cause:

• Hard or uneven steering effort
• Groaning or whining noises when turning
• Leaks or sticky steering feel
• Premature pump, rack, or valve failure

Replacing fluid before it degrades helps preserve seals, maintain assist pressure, and extend system life.

At The Garage MKG, we perform full power steering system inspection and fluid exchange using equipment designed to safely remove old fluid and contaminants from the entire circuit — not just the reservoir.

Our service includes:

• Fluid condition testing and visual inspection
• Complete exchange with manufacturer-approved fluid
• System pressure and pump noise evaluation
• Seal and hose inspection for leaks or wear
• Steering response verification after service

We use OEM or equivalent hydraulic fluid to ensure proper viscosity, lubricity, and anti-foaming characteristics — protecting your steering system in all weather conditions.

Today’s vehicles use several types of power steering — from traditional hydraulic systems to electro-hydraulic or fully electric (EPS) assist units. Our technicians are trained to diagnose and service each type accurately.

For hydraulic systems, we inspect and flush fluid circuits. For electric systems, we focus on calibration, steering angle sensors, and control modules. In all cases, we document findings through your Complete Vehicle Health Report, ensuring you understand the condition and needs of your steering system.

If your steering feels heavy, noisy, or inconsistent, schedule power steering service with The Garage MKG today. Call (231) 246-7735, visit 1860 Henry St, Muskegon, MI, or book online anytime.

We’ll inspect, test, and refresh your system with precision — restoring quiet operation, smooth assist, and dependable control on every drive.
