Steering Pump

Steering pumps are essential components of a vehicle's power steering system, providing the hydraulic pressure needed to assist with steering, particularly at low speeds. Located within the engine compartment and driven by the engine via a belt, these pumps convert mechanical energy into fluid power. This pressurized hydraulic fluid then assists the steering gear in turning the vehicle's wheels, reducing driver effort and improving maneuverability. Common in both passenger cars and commercial vehicles, steering pumps are critical for maintaining vehicle control and safety. Examples of steering pump offerings include units for Volvo Trucks, MAN (MPN 51.06650-6004), and Mercedes-Benz Trucks. Bosch also provides quality steering pumps, such as MPN KS00000384 and KS00000434.
