TUBE ASSY, PRESSURE FEED

Essential Component for Optimal Steering: Pressure Feed Tube Assembly

Why You Need This Part

The pressure feed tube assembly is a critical component in your car's power steering system. It is designed to transport hydraulic fluid from the power steering pump to the steering gear, enabling smooth and effortless steering control. Without this part, the fluid pressure cannot be distributed correctly, leading to a stiff and unresponsive steering wheel, which can jeopardize driving safety.

How It Works

The tube assembly is engineered to withstand high pressures, reinforced to prevent leaks. As the engine runs, the power steering pump generates hydraulic pressure. This pressure is channeled through the pressure feed tube to the steering rack. The hydraulic force then assists in turning the wheels with minimal effort from the driver, ensuring a comfortable driving experience.

Consequences of a Broken Part

If the pressure feed tube is damaged or leaking, it can result in a significant drop in hydraulic fluid pressure. This may cause a hard steering condition, unusual noises during steering, or even a complete loss of power steering assist. Driving in such conditions can be risky, especially at low speeds or during parking maneuvers.
