What Power Steering Does

The way that power steering works exactly is it pushes the power steering fluid down into the wheels with the torque that matches the torque that the driver used to steer the wheel. This is taken in and measured by the torque sensor which then transfers those measurements to the power steering pump. The pump then pushes the power steering fluid out all the way down to the wheels. Then the wheels go and turn. You want to make sure that this is all in working order so that you may continue to drive safely.
