The next step should be to remove the fluid, for this you need to remove the roof from the hydraulic fluid reservoir. From below under the car, we disconnect the hose leading to the power steering pump, and we drain the fluid from the system. We raise the car jack and place it on the pillows so you can remove the wheels. After removing the wheels, unscrew the nuts of the guide tips, the key to the tips is removed either using a special puller, or with hammer blows on the steering knuckle,

I have not yet risen, but in the tyrante they write everywhere that you need to shoot.

The power steering itself usually annoyingly begins to remind its owner that he needs repairs.

It looks like this:

ATTENTION! Found a completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption! Don't believe me? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also did not believe until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline! Read more"

• turning the steering wheel becomes much more difficult;
• sounds that were not there before began to appear, the steering wheel hums, a knock or whistle is heard;
• the oil level becomes lower;
• foam appears in the tank;
• in motion, the car constantly leads to the side;
• the oil darkened with a characteristic burning smell.

There is nothing forever, even in Toyota cars, especially if they were released before 2007.Most often, the hose wears out in the power steering, a little less often the steering cord and other small parts of the mechanism. However, the problem may also be in an incorrectly adjusted belt that drives the pump or in the pump itself, as well as in the need to change the oil in the mechanism.

In some cases, after changing the oil, car owners notice that the car has become much softer to drive. It is not difficult to do this even at home, but the one who will be engaged in this process for the first time will have to contrive.

The first thing inexperienced drivers may not be aware of is that the car must be warmed up before changing the oil. Ideally, drive it for a few minutes. You can use a short trip to the store. After that, you need to remove the tank in which the coolant is stored. Under it is the power steering oil tank. Before removing it, it is necessary to pump out the used oil from it.

To do this, it is convenient to use a regular syringe and a dropper tube, which fits perfectly on it. The process is quite long, painstaking, so it is best to cover everything around with old newspapers or rags so as not to splatter with oil.

The empty tank must be removed using a ten key. It unscrews three fastening bolts.

You also need to unscrew the clamp on the return hose located on top and remove this hose, if possible, extend it with a tube of a suitable size and also drain the oil.

It remains to close the opening of the tube from which the return flow was flowing. The easiest way to do this is with thick polyethylene and an elastic band for money. After that, you can fill in new oil, paying attention to the fact that the level should be slightly above the "Max Hot" mark.

After these manipulations have been carried out, you can start the engine for a few seconds. The main thing is to make sure that the drain container and rag are not in contact with the motor or belt.

Do not turn the steering wheel when changing the oil.

At the moment, the oil will pour into the container that was prepared in advance. Care must be taken to ensure that fluid does not drain out of the power steering completely. You can continue to add oil if desired. This, of course, is a less economical option, but the replacement will occur much faster. In the end, the price of oil is not so high as to save on your own pleasant driving sensations, and even more so on further expensive repairs of the power steering itself or its pump, which also often fails.
