Oil Reservoir Assembly for Vane Pump

The oil reservoir assembly for the vane pump is a crucial component in the hydraulic power steering system of your vehicle ?️. This part is essential as it stores and supplies hydraulic fluid to the power steering pump, ensuring smooth and efficient steering control. The reservoir maintains adequate fluid levels, preventing air from entering the hydraulic system, which could cause steering difficulties.

Functionality of the Reservoir Assembly

The reservoir assembly works by storing hydraulic oil and feeding it to the vane pump. As you turn the steering wheel, the pump draws fluid from the reservoir, creating pressure that assists in steering the wheels with minimal effort. This results in a smoother, more controllable driving experience ?.

Consequences of a Broken Reservoir

If this part becomes compromised or broken, it may lead to severe problems - such as fluid leaks or contamination that could cause the pump to fail. Additionally, a broken reservoir could introduce air into the system, resulting in noisy or difficult steering, ultimately compromising vehicle safety.
