makes driving easier. Cars now have much larger tyres than in the past, great for extra grip and handling performance while driving, they can make the steering extremely heavy during parking and slow speed driving. In addition, cars have much more accurate steering systems, giving more direct control during driving, and this will also contribute to heavy loads at the steering wheel. Well, thankfully, most cars have as standard equipment a wonderful comfort item called power assisted steering or power steering as is more common.
Power steering can be hydraulically driven but can be electronically driven which is officially know as Electro Hydraulic Power Steering; EPS Electro Power Steering or EPAS Electro Power Assisted Steering; and Servotronic). Power steering systems can include linkages, bearings, hydraulic fluid, hydraulic lines, hydraulic connections, fluid reservoirs, pumps, sensors and bushes. With so many moving parts, it's highly important to make sure all are kept in check.
