The Chevrolet Express Power Steering Pump enables drivers to control a heavy van with the touch of their fingertips by converting engine power into hydraulic force to reduce steering effort. It is mounted to the engine, rotates by a belt, pulls fluid from a reservoir, and directs high pressure through a hose to the steering control valve. With the wheel centered, the valve is balanced in terms of pressure, but once turned, it directs fluid to one side of the piston, and the Power Steering Pump adds extra torque that helps to facilitate the turn. Older vans use a simple hydraulic system while the newer versions combine the familiar Power Steering Pump with electronic valves that read speed, so the van provides strong assist at low speed and lighter feedback on the highways. Both layouts have the same high pressure line with fittings and a low pressure return hose contained with clamps, and both use the Power Steering Pump housing as a seal for the fluid and reduce noise. Warning signs are whining when the fluid is low, belt squeal due to slippage, or heavy steering during idle. Each of these warning signs suggests the Power Steering Pump as the likely cause on a Chevrolet Express van. Staying alert to leaks and maintaining factory specified pressure keeps the Chevrolet Express steering feel confident and consistent.
