Fluid under the front of the car
Leaks can come from pressure hoses, return pipes, unions, the pump or steering rack.

Power Steering Hose Diagnosis & Replacement in South London
Heavy steering, fluid loss or a whining noise can involve a hose, pipe or connection, but pumps, racks and electrical steering faults can feel similar. SP88 confirms the system and leak source before replacement.
Common signs
Steering becomes heavy
Low fluid, belt or pump faults and some electronic systems need different checks.
Whining while turning
Air entering the hydraulic system or low fluid can cause noise and damage if ignored.
Wet hose or corroded pipe
Clean inspection helps separate an active leak from old residue spread by airflow.
Diagnosis and parts matching
We identify whether the vehicle uses hydraulic, electro-hydraulic or electric assistance, trace the accessible leak path and match the correct hose or pipe from the registration or VIN.
Safety boundary: If steering assistance drops suddenly, fluid is pouring out or the auxiliary belt is affected, stop driving and arrange recovery.
Repair suitability
Some hose replacements are suitable mobile. Restricted access, subframe routing, severe corrosion or a suspected rack fault may require workshop facilities and alignment checks.
SP88 covers Wallington, Sutton, Croydon, Purley and nearby South London and Surrey areas.
