Through the above analysis, it can be concluded that not all steering racks require hydraulic oil. Specifically, the steering racks of manual steering systems and electric power steering systems do not require hydraulic oil, while the steering racks of hydraulic power steering systems rely on hydraulic oil to provide steering assistance.

Chevrolet officially launched the power steering system in 1953. This time point is of great significance, marking an important step for Chevrolet in technological innovation. In 1953, Chevrolet's representative model, the Chevrolet Corvette, was launched as the brand's first two-seater sports car.

In 1965, Ford introduced the Ford Mustang, which became the first mass-produced American model to widely adopt rack-and-pinion steering. The launch of the Ford Mustang marked an important step for American automakers in steering technology and also represented the increasing demand for better handling in the U.S. market.

some manufacturers recommend replacing the steering fluid every two years or every 40,000 to 50,000 kilometers. Owners should first refer to the recommendations in the vehicle manual and follow their instructions for replacement.

Advantages of hydraulic power steering system: Provides stable and powerful steering assistance Sensitive feedback and precise control Strong adaptability, suitable for a variety of vehicles High stability and reliability Relatively low cost Disadvantages of hydraulic power steering system: Low fuel efficiency Large volume and increased weight Complex maintenance and many vulnerable parts Inferior control feel to mechanical steering High noise

Signs that you need power steering fluid include: 1. Steering wheel becomes heavy 2. Steering wheel makes strange noises 3. Steering wheel is slow to return to center 4. Check fluid level indicator 5. Steering wheel vibrations 6. Hydraulic fluid deterioration 7. Fluid leakage 8. Decreased steering performance

Hydraulic power steering racks can significantly improve the controllability of trucks and reduce the labor intensity of drivers. For large trucks that are driven for a long time, hydraulic power steering racks make it easier to operate the steering wheel and avoid fatigue caused by long-term steering burdens.

(DKM) will participate in the highly anticipated West Africa Automotive Show (WAAS) and sincerely invites new and old customers to visit the booth to discuss cooperation. This grand event will be held at the Landmark Centre in Lagos, Nigeria.

The operation between the rack and the pinion depends on adequate lubrication. When the power steering fluid is exhausted, this lubrication function fails, resulting in excessive friction between metal parts and abnormal wear. The gear portion of the rack will be damaged due to direct contact, and eventually the steering rack will fail.

Mineral oil hydraulic oil is the most common type of hydraulic oil, which is mainly processed from oil-based oil products extracted from crude oil. They usually contain additives to enhance the anti-oxidation, anti-corrosion, anti-foaming and other properties of hydraulic oil.
