Power Steering Ford Hydroboosts

Hydroboost technology utilizes hydraulic pressure from the power steering pump, making it an ideal solution for vehicles with limited vacuum supply or those requiring superior braking power. Whether you are upgrading your vehicle's steering system or replacing a worn-out unit, a robust hydroboost system ensures seamless performance and safety.

Lee Power Steering offers brand new Bosch hydroboost that have been "high-flowed" to handle the higher flow rates required for upgraded steering systems. 

Why Choose a High-Quality Hydroboost System?

• Enhanced Braking Power: Unlike vacuum boosters, hydroboost systems offer consistent braking performance, especially in heavy-duty vehicles or those towing heavy loads.

Unfortunately, it is challenging to find new hydroboost units in today's automotive parts market. Most people only sell remanufactured units of very poor quality, leading to premature failures. 

Applications of Hydroboost Steering Systems

You will find power steering hydroboost systems in:

• Trucks and SUVs: For enhanced towing capability and off-road performance.
• Diesel-Powered Vehicles: Addressing the lack of vacuum in diesel engines.
• High-Performance Cars: Delivering precise steering and braking control.

Upgrading to a high-performance hydroboost power steering system can significantly improve your vehicle's overall handling and safety, and selecting a reliable unit that meets your specific needs is essential to maximizing performance.

FAQs About Hydroboost Power Steering Systems

What is a hydroboost system?

A hydroboost system is a hydraulic brake booster that uses power steering fluid pressure to amplify braking force. It replaces traditional vacuum brake boosters and is ideal for vehicles with low or no vacuum and larger/heavier vehicles.

How does a hydroboost improve braking performance?

Hydroboost systems leverage hydraulic pressure to provide consistent braking power, ensuring reliable performance even under heavy loads or low-vacuum conditions.

Can a hydroboost system be used in any vehicle?

While hydroboost systems are primarily used in diesel, turbocharged, and heavy-duty vehicles, they can be adapted for other applications. It's essential to ensure compatibility with your vehicle's power steering pump and braking system.

What are the signs of a failing hydroboost unit?

Common symptoms include reduced braking power, a hard brake pedal, power steering fluid leaks, or unusual noises during operation. Promptly addressing these issues is crucial for safety.

How do I maintain a hydroboost system?

Proper maintenance prolongs the system's lifespan by regularly checking and replacing power steering fluid, inspecting for leaks, and ensuring all hydraulic connections are secure.

Is it difficult to install a hydroboost system?

Installing a hydroboost system requires mechanical expertise and the right tools. While experienced DIYers can handle it, we recommend professional installation to ensure optimal performance and safety.
