Review on Bars 1600 Steering Repair 16 Fluid_Ounces by Loren Slama

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Not perfect but better than others in my opinion

I'm having a slow but constant leak in my power steering system due to high mileage and worn out seals. Instead of throwing the car out right away, I tried several products that promise to fix power steering leaks. The products that smelled like paint thinner (Lucas oil or Blue Devil?) seemed to make the leak worse (bigger stains on garage floor, shorter refill interval) so I stopped buying them. The AT-205 seemed to slow the leak to an acceptable level and I've bought it at least twice to fill up the power steering reservoir. This stuff (Bar's) seems to be the most effective at slowing leakage so I just bought a second one and will probably stick with it. Keep in mind that in my experience no product has been perfect - sometimes there are still small stains on the floor under the car, but Bar's seems to be the best for minimizing power steering leaks. At least in my case - your mileage may vary.

Pros
  • High score for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
