Power steering has made a significant impact on daily driving by assisting in swiveling wheels around their steering axes. Given that vehicles are increasingly heavy, use of front wheel drive, along with increase in tire diameter and width, steering would require major physical exertion if not for power steering.
The hydraulic seals in your power steering will be eaten away by engine oil. Your power steering will start to leek and eventually, it will not work at all.
The obvious: It will become very hard to steer. The not so obvious: The power steering pump is lubricated with power steering fluid, and driving it dry could damage the pump.
A burnt oil smell in the power steering box of a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500, accompanied by a noise from the pump when turning the steering wheel, likely indicates overheating due to low fluid levels, contamination, or a failing pump. Overheating can cause the power steering fluid to break down, leading to a burnt smell. Additionally, if the fluid is dirty or has air bubbles, it can create noise and affect steering performance. It's essential to check the fluid level and condition, and consider replacing the pump or flushing the system if necessary.
