power steering fluid

Wheel-turning lubricant

Power steering fluid is the hydraulic liquid used in a vehicle's power steering system, which makes the steering wheel easier to turn.

It transmits pressure from the steering wheel to the steering mechanism.

The fluid requires periodic checking and occasional replacement: The mechanic said I was low on power steering fluid.
