PAI Power Steering Fluid Dipstick

The PAI Power Steering Fluid Dipstick offers a practical method for monitoring fluid presence within the steering reservoir, aided by a CRS zinc-plated handle paired with a nitrile plug for a secure seating point. This blend of materials supports consistent insertion and withdrawal without sticking, even as the reservoir ages or sees temperature variation. The extended reach provides clear readings, reducing uncertainty during fluid checks while helping prevent contamination during handling. Its shape allows smooth integration with reservoir necks found across numerous heavy-duty setups, giving operators a predictable checkpoint during routine servicing. Vehicles retain steadier steering system oversight thanks to the reliable access point provided by the PAI 8980.
