Electric vs. Hydraulic Power Steering

Most cars, if not all that we see around us have power steering. Gone are the days when wheels used to be so heavy it is like you are doing some weight lifting. It was what the first cars had – manual steering. Power steering gives considerable comfort to the driver as he needs to exert less effort because of the added feature in the car. 


The source of power of power steering is either electric or hydraulic power steering. Hydraulic Power Units have this plunger type mechanism that works as it turns the wheels in the guided direction. While as electric power steering uses electricity.
