Are there any cars that still have power steering?
Today it is hard to imagine even the most economical of cars not having power steering standard. Power steering systems have also evolved a lot since the option that was available on the 1969 Mustang. Many cars still use a simple hydraulic system but some have advanced to electric systems.
Where does the power steering system come from?
Your power steering system gets its power directly from your vehicle’s engine. This is done with a belt that runs from your engine’s crankshaft to the power steering pump.
What to do if you have a power steering problem?
What to do: give your power steering pump pulley a thorough inspection, or have a professional mechanic take a look. If you have a buddy who’s willing to help, safely jack your car up and have one person turn the wheel while the others inspects the power steering belt.

Why is it important to check power steering fluid?
(If there isn’t enough fluid, steering becomes more difficult and either the pump or rack and pinion could be damaged without fluid to cushion them.) Therefore, it’s important to check power-steering fluid levels on a regular basis and add fluid when necessary. Look for the reservoir cylinder.
