Yes, I searched and searched and couldn't find anything, so here goes.
My steering rack has started grinding whenever I turn the wheel. Numerous people have said I need to top off the fluid, but should flush the system just to be safe. I know where the power steering fluid filler cap is, but I have no idea how to get to the drain plug for the reservoir (7afe). Can anybody help? |

Power steering pumps rarely go out, typically only when they're put under severe stress...i.e. performing radical steering in a dirt field for 15-20 minutes. This causes to pump to overheat and fail. I doubt this is your situation however.

If not, I'd probably try the "flush" method listed above first to see if maybe that and some fresh fluid would resolve your problem before spending money on a new pump. -------------------- |
