[QUOTE="Tom Schindler, post: 618237, member: 56140"] I flush my power steering fluid every year. I suck the reservoir dry, fill it. Steer hard left, hard right, hard left, hard right, center. Suck the reservoir dry and refill it. Same as above, then I suck it dry then refill. I do it again next year. I have driven my vehicles hundreds of thousands of miles. I have never had a leak or a failing pump. Neither has my father and he changes his fluid every other year. I know people that have never changed thier tranny fluid and have put well over 300,000 miles on it without a problem. That still doesn't mean changing the tranny fluid is a bad idea. The same goes for the power steering system. Just because someone says they feel 35,000 miles is too often, doesn't mean they know what they are talking about. Like the guy that never changed his tranny fluid, maybe he was just lucky. Tom [/QUOTE]
