HOW TO FIX POWER STEERING PROBLEMS WITH TRANS TUNE

fixing hard
or noisy power steering

Difficult or noisy steering can be both a nuisance and a danger when driving, but diagnosing power steering problems can seem intimidating.

Even with the manufacturer’s service information, understanding how the pump and its internal mechanisms operate isn’t easy for the average DIY mechanic, nor is the ability to get inline pressure measurements, which require special lines, fittings, and gauges.

Even seasoned technicians can face challenges when trying to fix power steering problems, often recommending replacement of the entire system to ensure the issue gets fixed — an expensive option.

The reality is that replacing parts is typically only needed when there is complete loss of power steering assist, or a leak.
Noise or weak assist is almost always the result of internal parts sticking due to degraded fluid. That’s a problem that Sea Foam can solve.

HOW TO FIX POWER STEERING PROBLEMS WITH TRANS TUNE

If you are experiencing noise or weak power steering assist, service your system with Sea Foam Trans Tune before replacing parts. Simply remove 4 to 6 ounces of fluid (a turkey baster works well for this) and replace with Trans Tune. Then drive normally. Once your fluid reaches its service life, flush the system following the manufacturer’s recommendations and add 4 to 6 ounces of Trans Tune to the new fluid, being careful not to overfill the reservoir.

HOW TRANS TUNE HELPS

Trans Tune will work quickly to dissolve and clean sticky varnish residues, smoothing out hard steering and quieting noisy pumps. Once your system is clean, Trans Tune will keep working for the life of your fluid, conditioning it and preventing additional buildup. Trans Tune also works to control moisture that can impair power steering systems.

Your power steering will work as it should, remain clear of harmful deposits and last longer.

How Trans Tune helps
power steering fluid systems

Every petroleum fluid system is prone to erratic and rough performance caused by gum, varnish, and moisture.
Trans Tune works fast to overcome hard steering and noisy steering pumps caused by varnish deposits in pumps, gears and pressure valves.

Trans Tune is safe for use in all petroleum-based power steering fluid systems and does NOT contain harsh detergent or abrasive chemicals that can harm your fluid system.

“I used this on a Buick car I bought that had high miles. The transmission shifted hard so I took a chance with trans tune. After driving it a little while the shifting smoothed out. I also used it in my power steering reservoir on my 2002 ford power stroke. It has hard spots when I tried to turn. This freed up the steering making it turn smooth again. I love Sea Foam Products!”

“My very high-mileage Volvo has so-called “lifetime” transmission fluid. It holds a little more than 7 liters. I drained and refilled the system three times (usually a little more than 3 liters replaced each time.) First time it came out nearly black, after that lighter and lighter carmel color (the new fluid is red.) One last time with one difference, I added a bottle of TransTune and drove the car for about a week. The same carmel color fluid drained out. After putting in the new red fluid, I removed the small drain screw to adjust the fluid level–(Volvo doesn’t make it easy. You are supposed to let the fluid stream out until it begins to come out in individual drops, then you put the screw back in and the level is set.) Amazing that the fluid was bright red like I poured it straight from the transmission fluid bottle. Without changing the transmission filter, the TransTune cleaned out the last of the old transmission fluid in a car with very high mileage. Shifting is back to being smooth too! I recommend this product to anyone with a higher mileage car for the transmission and to everyone for maintaining their power steering fluid pump.”
