When you turn your steering wheel and it's stiff, that could mean that it's time for new power steering fluid. We'll show you how to change it on this Wrenched.
[00:00:00] When you turn your steering wheel and it's stiff, hard to turn or worse, you hear this whine, Your power steering fluid might need to be topped off or flushed. Here's what you'll need to do the job. Turkey baster, catch can, safety glasses, gloves, power steering fluid, pliers, rags, and a funnel. I'm Larry Kosilla, pro detailer and trainer for the last 15 years, but it when it comes to what's under the hood, I'm the student.
[00:01:00] for the manufacturer's recommended type of power steering fluid and then locate the reservoir. It will have a steering wheel logo or the words steering fluid and"Do not overfill" around the cap. Twist the cap and simply check the dipstick which will have dash lines indicating high and low levels and add more if it's low. Pretty simple. Option two is to use a turkey baster or vacuum pump to remove some of the old fluid and replace it with fresh fluid.
[00:02:00] and find the low pressure line. Some systems will have a permanent clamp on the high pressure line, so look for the one with the removable clamp as this will be the low pressure line. Use pliers to unclamp the hose, then point the hose down into the catch can. Next add fresh fluid to the reservoir and fill it up before starting the car for the flush.
