About the piece:
The Power Steering Hose Elbow ( PSH ) on Mazda CX-9 vehicles is a connection used to connect the power steering hose to the power steering fluid reservoir or other components within the hydraulic steering system. The piece features a curved design to facilitate the flow of oil at a correct angle without obstructions, ensuring efficient operation of the system.
His job :
- Oil connection: Connects the steering box to other system components, allowing oil to flow easily.
- Maintain Pressure: Supports maintaining proper oil pressure to ensure the hydraulic steering system operates smoothly.
- Reduce Friction: Helps reduce stress caused by straight connections or improper angles, improving oil flow.
Symptoms of its damage:
- Oil leak: Note the presence of oil near the connection area between the yoke and the elbow.
- Difficulty steering: Feeling heavy when turning the steering wheel due to oil leakage or poor flow.
- Abnormal noises: Hearing a humming or buzzing noise while steering due to low oil level or poor pressure.
- Low Oil Level: Notice a steady drop in the power steering oil level inside the tank.
