If you are not a car enthusiast you may be unaware of all of the needs your vehicle requires in order to operate properly.
One example would be steering wheel fluid. Not everyone knows our vehicle's steering wheel needs this fluid to work.
Sometimes you may think how your steering wheel is acting is a bigger problem then it actually is.
You may just need fluid!
How Do I Know My Vehicle Needs Steering Wheel Fluid?
Is your steering wheel acting up? Does it feel different? Stiffer and harder to turn?
Your steering wheel may even begin making new noises.
This can be alarming. We can think there is a bigger issue happening and feel as though it may be dangerous to drive, when in fact, we may be overlooking a simple solution.
Your steering wheel may just need some steering wheel fluid to make it move like it is brand new.
Prior to freaking out, think about the fluid for your steering wheel that can be easily purchased at any automotive supply store.
Once you have your steering wheel fluid, pop the hood and locate the reservoir near or on the engine.
The cap for your steering wheel fluid usually has white or yellow writing on it.
Once located, clean the black lid to prevent debris from getting into it while you work.
Simply pour the steering wheel fluid into the appropriate spot and instantly you will notice a change in the way you drive.
Not adding steering wheel fluid when needed can damage your steering wheel pump and cost you more down the road.
If you are not comfortable with adding the fluid yourself or notice there is a leak, stop by our dealership and let us help you safely get back on the road!
