LUBEGARD Power Steering Flush

SUPER CONCENTRATED FORMULA!
For use with or without ANY flush machine!

Power steering systems are generally only noticed when something has gone wrong! This system is one of the simplest to maintain and is also the most noticed complaint from customers.

A power steering system is generally subjected to harsh temperatures leading to fluid deterioration over time. Through constant use and high operating pressures, other types of wear materials are also generated that degrade the system. The result of this pressure and heat is fluid breakdown, contamination, loss of lubricating properties, and varnish deposits. When power steering fluid circulates throughout the system of the pump and gear, it picks up wear material as well as contamination from the breakdown of aging hoses and seals. Periodic maintenance of this intricate and precise system is necessary!

Flushing this system and recharging it with new fluid and adding LUBEGARD® Power Steering Fluid Protectant is the best assurance you can have for extended optimum power steering performance by allowing the fluid to run through the system effortlessly, providing the driver responsive and safe control.

Even though most manufacturer's don't provide a maintenance schedule for this important gear, it should be flushed and refilled any time work is done on the rack, a hose is replaced, or if you are having steering squawk or other operating problems.

Reasons Your Customers Should Choose to Flush Their Power Steering System

Surely your customer has encountered a power steering system failure of some sort with a power steering pump, hoses, gearbox or rack & pinion. Failures can be defined as noise or squawks, stiffness or even leaks when first starting the car.

Once your customer’s power steering fluid becomes dark and contaminated, their power steering pump and rack & pinion begin to clog with sludge and varnish deposits. The sludge and varnish causes the squawks and whines, stiffness, leaks or even total system
failures.

Let them know that they can prevent this from happening simply by using LUBEGARD products. To assist in eliminating virtually all noise, stiffness, rough or hard turning, a full power steering flush service should be first thing you should try before it becomes necessary to perform major repair work or even the need for replacement of very expensive power steering components.

Directions For Use:

When used with a flush machine, follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Without a flush machine: The following flushing procedure is designed for two people to accomplish, but you should always use the specific procedure that your mechanic or manufacturer recommends. This is generic in approach and always ensure that the vehicle will not be in gear or able to be operated except for the power steering pump.

Raise the front wheels of the vehicle off the ground and disconnect the power steering systems return line. Insert this line into a container to collect the discharged fluid. Take the top off of the power steering reservoir and have your assistant ready with new power steering fluid. Then add LUBEGARD Power Steering Flush.

With the engine ignition disabled for safety, crank the engine to operate the power steering pump, add LUBEGARD Power Steering Flush and cycle the steering wheel back and forth to totally flush the system. Ensure that the fluid is continually flushed until the color is that of the new fluid. Make sure that the system is never running dry during this process as this can damage parts. Also, keep the system full while flushing to help prevent air bubbles in the system.

Reattach the hose and top off the reservoir with power steering fluid and LUBEGARD Power Steering Fluid Protectant (part #: 20404).
