HPS racks are more common in large vehicles and some high-performance models that focus on driving experience. These types of vehicles have high requirements for the durability, reliability and steering feel of the steering system, and the HPS system has obvious advantages in this regard.

A faulty hydraulic power steering rack may make noises such as: 1. Whining Noise 2. Clunking or Knocking Noise 3. Squealing or Screeching Noise 4. Hissing Noise 5. Grinding Noise

From Toyota and Ford to BMW and Mercedes-Benz, these brands still choose hydraulic steering systems on some models because of their excellent reliability, excellent driving feedback and low manufacturing and maintenance costs.

The driver needs to exert more force when steering, which is especially dangerous for inexperienced drivers. In an emergency, the lack of steering power may cause the vehicle to fail to avoid obstacles in time or make correct steering operations, causing accidents.

In general, the service life of the hydraulic power steering rack is between 120,000 and 150,000 kilometers. However, this value is not absolute, because different use conditions will have different effects on its life.

New energy vehicles, especially pure electric vehicles, usually choose electric power steering systems when designing their power steering systems. The main reasons are as follows: Energy matching of electric power steering systems Efficient energy use Simple structure and high reliability

Hydraulic power steering rack (HPS Rack) is the most common type of steering system in traditional fuel vehicles. Its core is to provide steering assistance through hydraulic pressure. This rack usually works with a hydraulic pump, oil pipe, valve and hydraulic oil tank.

In hydraulic steering racks, the modulus of the rack and pinion is usually selected within a certain range to balance accuracy, strength and manufacturing cost. Generally speaking, rack and pinion with a modulus between 2 and 4 mm are more common.

Generally speaking, the price of the seal itself is not high, usually between $20 and $50. However, since replacing the seal requires disassembling the steering rack, the labor cost is higher, usually between $100 and $300. Therefore, the overall cost may be between $120 and $350.

The primary function of the power steering rack is to transmit the steering force applied by the driver through the steering wheel to the wheels. This transmission process seems simple, but it actually involves complex mechanical and hydraulic conversions.
