BG power steering products remove residues from the entire steering system, ensuring smooth, quiet operation while preventing leaks, sticking and wear of parts.

BG Quick Clean for Power Steering

Quick CleanBG Quick Clean for Power Steering safely and effectively eliminates accumulated deposits from power steering pumps, lines, racks, and valves.

Power steering systemsexperience extremely high fluid pressures and temperatures. These conditions cause power steering fluid to break down rapidly, losing fluid lubrication capabilities over time. Even under normal operation, the power steering system produces abrasive wear metals that cause seal and valve damage. This wear can eventually lead to expensive component failure.

BG Quick Clean for Power Steering cleanscontaminants from the power steering system quickly and safely. Installed by a professional, it removes deposits from power steering pumps, lines, racks, and valves.

 

BG Power Clean

PN 332

power CleanBG Power Clean is a specially formulated blend of anti-wear ingredients, antioxidants and seal conditioners. It protects the power steering system from the effects of heat and wear.

Fluid contamination is the leading cause of premature wear in power steering systems. Oxidation byproducts, hose material, and metallic debris accumulate in power steering fluid. As this contaminated fluid is pumped through the power steering system under very high pressure, it causes abrasive wear in the pump and rack assembly, which leads to pump noise, erratic steering, and eventual mechanical failure.

BG Power Clean is a high quality synthetic blend power steering fluid. It is a specially formulated, professional-use product that features ingredients not found in ordinary power steering fluids. With anti-wear agents to prevent damage to the spool valve housing and other components and anti-oxidants to prevent fluid breakdown, BG Power Clean extends fluid life.

BG Power Steering Service Center

PN 937

Power Steering ServiceThe BG Power Steering Service Center quickly and efficiently removes spent power steering fluid while simultaneously installing new power steering fluid.

Power steering fluid operates under extreme pressures and temperatures, eventually causing it to break down and become contaminated. Fluid contamination is primarily caused by oxidation, which in turn leads to deposit formation. Traditional drain-and-fill fluid replacement methods do not remove all contaminated fluid. When new fluid is added, the leftover fluid immediately taints it.

The BG Power Steering Service Center drains contaminated power steering fluid while simultaneously installing fresh power steering fluid. This method ensures that all the contaminated fluid is replaced and removes abrasive wear metals and debris that grind away valves and seals.

 

BG Power Steering Conditioner

PN 330

Power Steering ConditionerBG Power Steering Conditioner is formulated to help prevent power steering unit leaks, provide smooth operation and eliminate squealing. It fortifies all power steering fluid, cleans and smooths internal springs and valves to help eliminate sticking, and reduces parts wear, and conditions seals against drying and shrinking to prevent leakage.

High operating temperatures and pressures in power steering systems increase the demands made on power steering fluid and the additives contained therein. Fluid contamination is primarily caused by oxidation, which in turn leads to deposit formation. These deposits cause wear on critical power steering components like pumps and rack and pinion assemblies. Thus, these systems are plagued by excessive noise, wear, and leakage.

BG Power Steering Conditioneris a professional-use product that contains anti-oxidants, dispersants, and anti-wear ingredients, which maintain fluid condition, system cleanliness, and prevent noise and excessive wear. It will reduce deposit formation and prevent foaming.

Power Steering Definitions

Power Steering Pump– Pressurizes power steering fluid

Power Steering Hoses– Carries fluid to the rack and back to the pump

Rack & Pinion– Translates steering input into movement of the wheels for turning

Power Steering Reservoir– Holds power steering fluid until its needed by the system

Power Steering Fluid– Pushes the rack in one direction or the other
