Check for tightness of the steering mechanism with the amplifier.
If a low fluid level is detected in the receiver, then it is necessary to check the entire steering system as soon as possible. Otherwise, the power steering may suddenly stop working while driving. Below is the verification sequence:
Turn the steering wheel once to the right and once to the left until it stops. Thus, the highest possible pressure is formed in the power steering, and leaks become more noticeable.
Leave the steering wheel in one of the extreme positions and check the following places for leaks:
Rotary valve. It is located approximately where the steering column connects to the steering gear. The working fluid in this case acts in the passenger compartment under the dashboard on the front wall.
Leakage on the gear rack seal. To check, loosen the clamps of the casing and move it to the side.
On a hydraulic pump. To check for leaks, you may need to wash the engine before checking.
At pipeline connections. It is necessary to check and, if necessary, tighten all connections individually.
