The power steering system can indeed be repaired, with the specific repair plan depending on the type of fault. Common issues such as power steering pump oil leaks, belt wear, or contaminated steering fluid can typically be resolved by replacing seals, belts, or performing a complete steering fluid flush. Repair costs generally range from RM200 to RM800. If the issue involves sensors or control modules in the electronic power steering system, professional diagnostic equipment is required, potentially increasing costs to over RM1,500. Notably, regular replacement of specification-compliant steering fluid (such as Shell Spirax or Prestone brands, priced at approximately RM20 to RM90 per litre) can prevent premature system aging. Vehicle owners are advised to seek immediate inspection at a workshop certified for power steering system repairs when experiencing symptoms like stiff steering, unusual noises, or abnormal fluid level drops, to prevent secondary damage to other components.
