Buick Envision Power Steering Parts

Power steering makes it much easier to handle your Buick Envision SUV, especially when you're making a turn or taking on a curvy road. It's part of the rack and pinion steering system featured in most modern vehicles. It takes the driver's input and multiplies it into action when it comes to controlling your SUV's wheels.

Power Steering Explained

The power steering system has two major components. The first is the pump, which is turned by a drive belt and delivers power steering fluid to the rack and pinion unit. The fluid's pressure is applied to a piston side, which assists you with turning the steering wheel.

The other part is the actual rack and pinion system itself. When you turn the steering wheel, that turns a pinion gear against the steering rack at the end of the steering input shaft. The rack gets moved in the direction you want, which turns the wheels that same way.

Other parts of your power steering system include the power steering fluid, power steering hoses, steering coupler, steering yoke, and tie rod ends. All are essential to making it easier to control your SUV.

Signs of Power Steering Issues

If any of your power steering components start to go bad, it can make it harder to execute turns. Indications of problems include:

• Your power steering pump pulley stops spinning
• Your power steering fluid level gets low
• Your power steering pump completely fails
