The steering pump pressurises the fluid within a tank that sits on or near your engine. This pressure causes the fluid to flow throughout the system. The fluid also lubricates the pump and steering gear unit. This reduces heat levels, friction and corrosion. All of this helps prolong the life of the steering system.
