Power Steering is used to help the driver turn the wheel. Power steering is powered by a fluid held within the reservoir, where you put the power steering fluid into. Then, the power steering pump takes over. That pumps the steering fluid to the steering gearbox, which flows to the valve body unit (kind of like a crank). Once you turn the wheel to the left or to the right, the computer tells the steering fluid to push against the crank to make the wheels move, taking less stress off the driver. You usually find power steering in bigger vehicles, such as pick up trucks, big rigs, bigger cars, etc. You won't find it in smaller cars because it's already easy to turn.
