Where is the power steering in a Chevy?

Location of Power Steering in Chevy Vehicles
For most modern Chevy vehicles, the power steering system may vary depending on the model and year. Here’s a breakdown of the power steering locations in different Chevy vehicles:
– Chevy Cruze: All Cruzes from 2011 and up do not use hydraulic steering systems and instead come equipped with electric steering racks. The power steering pump on a Chevy Cruze is located on the driver/passenger side of the engine bay. The container is located right near the pump and is a clear plastic jug. To change the power steering fluid, you will need to first locate the container, which will be under the hood near the window.
– 2006 Chevy Cobalt: The “power steering” system is located primarily inside the steering column and does not use power steering fluid because it uses an electric motor for power steering, not a hydraulic one. In fact, all Chevy Cobalts (SS & LS) use electric power steering systems, therefore there is no power steering fluid, nor is there a power steering fluid reservoir.
– 2007 Chevy Malibu: The power steering assist location is the bottom side of the steering column, above the driver’s legs. The 2007 Chevy Malibu has electric power steering assist, and the power steering fluid needs to be replaced every 75,000 miles. The power steering fluid reservoir is located toward the rear of the engine compartment on the passenger side of the vehicle.
– Chevy Equinox: The power steering fluid reservoir is located toward the rear of the engine compartment on the passenger side of the vehicle. It is usually located at the passengers side of the vehicle, where the belts in a smaller or transverse-mount engine are located, but you will also sometimes find the reservoir on the drivers side.
In summary, the power steering system in Chevy vehicles can vary, with some models using electric power steering systems and others utilizing traditional hydraulic systems. It’s important to consult the specific vehicle’s manual for accurate information on the location and maintenance of the power steering system.
