Mercury Capri Power Steering Pump

The Power Steering Pump of the Mercury Capri helps in turning the wheels by converting engine power into hydraulic power. Mounted to the engine and spun by a V or serpentine belt, this Power Steering Pump draws its fluid from a reservoir attached to it or from a reservoir mounted in a remote location. As it spins, the pump pressurizes the fluid and pushes it out through a high-pressure hose into a rack-and-pinion control valve. The steering wheel directional flow then helps the piston that thrusts the steering linkage to move in step with the driver. When the wheel is neutral, the pressure on either side of the piston is equal, thus balancing the system and the Power Steering Pump merely recirculates. While most Capri models stayed with the dependable hydraulic design across decades of Mercury production, later editions gained electronically tuned flow control in the Power Steering Pump so assistance rises at parking speeds and eases at highway pace. The idea is to sharpen road feel for sport-minded drivers and improve handling. Leakage, squeals, whining, or heavy steering should clue in the Capri owner that the Mercury pump may be due for rebuild or replacement. Pressure testing checks Power Steering Pump health, keeping classic Mercury steering responsive.
