Your vehicle’s power steering pump generates the hydraulic pressure needed to make steering effortless, whether you're parking in tight spaces or cruising Nashville highways. This pump draws fluid from the reservoir and pressurizes it to assist the steering rack or gearbox, providing smooth, responsive control with minimal driver effort. When your power steering pump is working properly, turning the wheel feels precise and consistent, regardless of speed or load. At Terry’s Service Center in Nashville, TN, our experienced technicians diagnose, rebuild, and replace power steering pumps on most cars, trucks, and SUVs to restore effortless steering across West Nashville and surrounding areas.

​

It’s important to have your power steering pump inspected if you hear whining or groaning noises when turning, feel heavy or jerky steering, notice fluid leaks under the vehicle, or see a red steering warning light on the dash. These symptoms often indicate worn pump bearings, internal vane damage, a clogged reservoir screen, or low/contaminated fluid that’s stressing the pump. At Terry’s Service Center, we perform thorough pressure tests, check pump flow rates, inspect drive belts and hoses, and clean or replace the system as needed to prevent further damage and maintain responsive steering control.
