For the hydraulic power steering system, the rubber of the oil supply hose does not have sufficient heat resistance, and therefore, it may deteriorate and lose flexibility because of the heat from the catalyst converter of the exhaust pipe. The rubber hose may crack due to the pressure movement and allow the power steering oil to leak, and in the worst case, the oil might deposit on the exhaust pipe and cause a fire.

The length of the hose (feed hose) to the hydraulic power steering unit is not appropriate, and therefore, when quickly turning the steering wheel back to the centre position from the maximum point, the hydraulic pressure may suddenly change at the valve that is to switch the oil passages, in which case the pipes can resonate making abnormal noises. If this problem is left unattended, the feed pipe of the steering rack could crack due to vibration from the resonance, and the power steering oil could leak resulting in heavier steering.

On certain vehicles, rust-proofing oil can penetrate into the contact point of the brake lights switch due to the improper application of the oil on the brake pedal. The oil may be carbonized by sparks at the contact point of the switch when the brake pedal is operated, in which case electrical continuity on the contact point is disrupted and the brake lights could fail.
