Wynns Power Steering Flush

Wynn's Power Steering Flush is a power steering cleaner, formulated to remove harmful deposits and impurities from power steering systems. Wynn's Power Steering Flush is formulated to be used in conjunction with the Wynn's Power Steering Flush Machine (Part No. 22000).

Introduction

One of the first signs of a problem in a vehicle's power steering system is when a customer complains of sluggish steering shortly after the vehicle is started. This is especially noticeable in cold weather. The vehicle may also steer hard in one or both directions. Power steering fluid operates under high pressure. Contamination and operating temperatures affect the fluid. Because of these demanding conditions, power steering fluid can break down and loose its protective lubricating properties, resulting in excessive wear which can lead to hard steering. Power steering fluid should be changed periodically to keep the system operating smoothly. Unfortunately, what most frequently happens is that the fluid is changed only when the power steering unit is replaced. This is a costly and time consuming service. There is also no easy way to get rid of all the dirty fluid before adding clean fluid to the system. Experts recommend periodic flushing or fluid exchanges of power steering systems. All suppliers of re-manufactured or replacement power steering racks recommend flushing the entire system of old fluid and contaminants when replacing a power steering rack. Historically, power steering system fluid service has been neglected, often due to the lack of a convenient method for providing such flush or fluid change services. Previously our methods for flushing the power steering system or replacing the power steering fluid were time consuming and often inefficient or incomplete.

Service neglect leads to power steering system complaints including poor handling, hard or sluggish steering, and objectionable noise. These complaints can often be attributed to fluid that has thickened due to oxidation, become contaminated or undergone additive degradation over time. Fluid that has thickened due to oxidation often results in hard steering when the fluid is cold. This commonly results in a phenomenon called “morning sickness”. Also, over time, fluid leakage from power steering system seals can often be attributed to seal deterioration from continued contact with degraded fluid.

Advantages

A Wynn's Power Steering Flush service flushes out the dirty fluid from the system, and replaces it with clean power steering fluid easily and cost effectively. The complete service takes less than 20 minutes, depending on vehicle make. When a Wynn's Power Steering Flush service is performed as a preventative maintenance measure, it helps extend the life of a power steering unit, pump, and seals. If it is determined that a power steering unit should be replaced, the Wynn's Power Steering Flush service can clean, condition and prepare the system for replacement of the worn components, as recommended by power steering manufacturers. If the power steering unit is leaking badly, as seals may be broken, this procedure is not recommended. Previously, power steering fluid exchange, without the use of a machine, was accomplished by disconnecting a lower pressure hose and gravity draining the old fluid, then reconnecting the hose and refilling the reservoir with new fluid. Such gravity draining did not flush the old fluid from small passages or pockets in the system where old contaminated fluid would settle, resulting in a very incomplete fluid exchange.

The Wynn's Power Steering Flush Machine is a portable, lightweight, easy to operate and efficient unit that flushes the system of old fluid and contaminants, and refills the system with new fluid. This machine is designed to be used with vehicles containing either conventional power steering fluid or ATF type power steering fluid in the power steering system.

• Draining the old fluid from the reservoir.
• Refilling the reservoir with Wynn's Power Steering System Flush.
• Performing the flush process with simultaneous use of the suction hose and the supply hose.
• Performing the new fluid refill process with simultaneous use of the suction hose and the supply hose.

Routine power steering fluid service is designed to extend the life of power steering system components. The Wynn's Power Steering Flush service helps prevent component wear, keeps seals conditioned to help eliminate leaks, and provides the appropriate fluid viscosity for maximum power steering system performance.
