You can pay someone a lot of money to flush your power steering fluid, or you can save a lot of money by doing it yourself.

When I first started as an auto technician, power steering fluid (PSF) was an afterthought. Except for leaks, I could count on one hand the number of power steering (PS) system repairs I had to make.

Modern vehicles rely on a host of fluids to send us down the road. Some, like engine oil and coolant, are well-known, while others, like differential fluid, are less-familiar to average motorists.
