Fundamentally, without a contained path for fluid to travel, we would have no hydraulics. Hard lines are used to run the length of the vehicle.

Power steering is now offered in a few different ways; hydraulic, electrical, and more recently, drive-by-wire. Types of Power Steering Power steering is either hydraulic, electronic, or electro-hydraulic. The hydraulic fluid assists in the turning of the wheels, meaning the input required from the driver is kept to a minimum.
