Is low-quality power steering fluid being used in local workshops causing steering failure in Karvaan?
In some workshops, cheap o r incompatible power steering fluids are used during service. Could this lead to long-term damage in the steering system?

Yes, in many local workshops, mechanics:
Use cheap, incompatible fluids
Overfill o r underfill the reservoir
Skip flushing old fluid
This leads to:
Pump failure
Seal damage
Hard steering o r whining noises
Always insist on using manufacturer-recommended steering fluid, o r at least high-quality alternatives like ZIC, Kixx, o r Caltex.
