Steer Clear of Problems with Smooth, Confident Handling
Your power steering system plays a critical role in vehicle safety and comfort by reducing the effort required to turn the wheel and maintaining precise control. Whether your vehicle uses hydraulic power steering or electric power steering (EPS), regular service helps ensure consistent performance, responsive handling, and long-term reliability.
At Legacy Auto Clinic, power steering service intervals typically fall between 30,000–60,000 miles, though recommendations vary by manufacturer, driving habits, and operating conditions such as frequent city driving, towing, or extreme temperatures.
