Hydraulic power steering is used for all vehicles.
Faults in the power steering can include excessive
play of the steering wheel, difficult steering wheel
operation, noise, vibration, and oil leaks, etc.
Possible causes of these faults can include defects
in the gear box, oil pump or steering linkage.

TROUBLESHOOTING STRATEGY
