Power steering

Power steering is like a magic helper for the steering wheel in a car. It makes turning the wheel easier so you don't have to use as much force or strength to steer the car.

There is a little power steering pump in the car that helps create a pressure in the steering system. This pressure acts like a "helper" to the steering wheel and makes it easier to turn.

Without power steering, it would be very hard for drivers to turn the steering wheel, especially if they were driving a big, heavy car. So, power steering is a really helpful invention that lets people drive cars more easily and safely.
