When a power steering seal goes bad, it can cause the following issues:
1. Fluid Leakage: A damaged power steering seal can cause power steering fluid to leak, reducing the fluid level in the system and potentially leading to power steering failure.
2. Contamination: If the power steering fluid leaks onto other components, it can cause corrosion and other forms of damage.
3. Steering Vibrations: A damaged power steering seal can cause steering vibrations or looseness, making it difficult to steer the vehicle.
4. Decreased Power Assistance: If the power steering system loses fluid pressure due to a bad seal, it may not be able to provide enough assistance, making it harder to steer the vehicle, especially at low speeds.
5. Noisy Operation: A damaged power steering seal can cause noise when turning the wheel, such as whining, squealing or groaning sounds.
It's important to address a damaged power steering seal as soon as possible to prevent further damage and to ensure safe and reliable operation of the vehicle.
