[ http://forum.chryslerminivan.net/showthread.php/1955-Power-Steering-Fluid-Warning ] Conclusions: The safe and satisfactory performance of most power assist vehicular steering systems for mobility vehicles depends on using the recommended power steering fluid in the gear. This is because the rubber seals that are integral to the inner working of gears can be adversely affected if the power steering fluid is not compatible with the seals. In the working conditions of a typical steering gear, rubber seals can swell or shrink excessively, or can be in other ways degraded by the contacting fluid. Hydrogenated nitrile (HNBR) rubber compounds and seals were studied in this work. HNBR was chosen because of its being a choice elastomer for making PS gear seals. The ATF fluids were less destructive with the two seal compounds at the temperatures investigated. The non-ATF fluid tended to extract unattached and un-bonded compounding ingredients from the rubber matrix. This leads to excessive shrinkage, increasing hardness, reduced lip flexibility, reduced interference and seal leakage.
