So I found out that my power steering fluid is really dark in color and it should not be like that, I am planning removing all the power Steering fluid and adding new liquid, I personally don't think that is hard to do but I need to make sure I am not missing any steps in the process is there another thread that shows how to do this and what to disconnect so when I do it I don't go into this project blind sided. Or even better step by step would be amazing thanks

I've heard of a flush machine that some places use, but beyond that..i've never heard of someone changing out their fluid.
Theoretically you could pull off a line and empty the res. Fill.. work it all in..then drain again.

I do that when I'm boredit turns brown so fast, SOMEDAY, somehow I will get it to stay clean.

If it works, I don't give it a hard time. Cause I only check the level when the alternator bracket is off. Which means..it hardly ever bothers me...lol

Well the reason is because my steering is normal, but it makes a whine when I turn the wheels even at idle nothing fills different just the noise. That's why I wanna try this before I have to go changing my power steering pump. I mean what else could be causing the whine?

I'd pull some out and add some of the PS Lucas goop. If it works miracles in transmissions..maybe they are onto something.

I will vouch for the Lucas PS additive. When my rack was getting hard to move and was leaking I added about 2 bottles over the course of about 2 years and it kept it alive and almost completely stopped the leak. Made it quieter too.
Of course I knew my rack was on borrowed time but had to get as much out as possible before forking over the $$$ for a new one.

yeah just added some of the lucas power steering fluid and it completely fix the problem did not have to empty the res. Thanks to everyone that help out. i thought it was going to be a lot more complicated.

Can you post a vid of this "whine" you are talking about? I'm not trying to make it hard on you, but these cars all have a bit of whine to them even when they are working correctly. Just seems to be the nature of the beast.
I would say as long as the PS is still working properly and you aren't leaking any fluid then leave it be.
