What are the possible reasons for power steering fluid leaking from the bottom of the car?
The power steering rack is usually equipped with seals at both ends to prevent fluid leakage. However, as the vehicle is used for a longer time, the seals will lose their sealing ability due to wear, thermal expansion and contraction, or material aging. Once the seals are damaged, the fluid will leak out from both sides of the steering rack.

If you often drive on the highway and need stable directional control and less fuel consumption, the electric power steering rack is still the first choice. It can provide consistent power assistance to ensure stability when driving at high speeds.
-
In general, it is recommended that car owners replace the steering fluid every 2-3 years or every 50,000 kilometers. Of course, the specific replacement cycle should also refer to the recommendations of the vehicle manufacturer.

Leaks in hydraulic systems are usually caused by aging, wear or improper installation of mechanical parts. Power steering rack leakage is mainly concentrated in key components such as hoses, seals, joints and hydraulic pumps.
-
When the hydraulic power steering rack becomes loose, the response of the steering wheel may become sluggish. When the driver turns the steering wheel, he does not feel the immediate response that should have been there, but needs to spend more force or time to complete the steering operation.
-
Power steering leak stopper is a common commercial product that usually fills the leak point by adding a chemical to the power steering fluid, especially the aging or cracks of the seal. Leak-stopping agents work by forming a hardened film of chemicals at the leak point through contact with air or temperature, sealing the leaking fluid and slowing or stopping the leak.

Benefits of replacing a new power steering rack: 1. Restore the performance of the steering system 2. Improve driving safety 3. Extend the service life of the vehicle 4. Improve the driving experience 5. Economic and environmental benefits

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.

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.
-
if it is only a small leak, the vehicle can still be driven for a short distance, but it needs to be checked and the hydraulic oil added frequently. However, if the oil leak is serious and the hydraulic oil is lost quickly, the vehicle may lose the power-assist function in a short time, and continuing to drive at this time will bring great risks.
