Buick Enclave Power Steering Parts

Your Buick Enclave SUV features power steering to make it much easier to execute turns and handle curvy back country roads. As part of the rack and pinion steering system found in most new vehicles, power steering multiplies simple driver input into major action when it comes to turning the vehicle's wheels.

How Power Steering Works

There are two major parts of the power steering system. The first is the pump. This is turned by a drive, or serpentine, belt and provides power steering fluid to the rack and pinion unit. The pressure of the fluid is applied to one side of a piston, which helps you turn the steering wheel.

The second major component at work is the rack and pinion system. Your action of turning the steering wheel turns the pinion gear at the end of the steering input shaft against the steering rack. The rack gets pushed in the desire direction, turning your wheels.

There are other parts of the power steering system as well, such as the steering yoke, steering coupler, tie rod ends, power steering hoses, and power steering fluid. They all work together to ensure the easy command you enjoy as you travel down the road.

How to Spot Power Steering Problems

Here are some of the common power steering problems you may encounter:

• Low power steering fluid
• The power steering pump fails completely
• The power steering pump pulley stops spinning
