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? |

QUOTE (dabazied @ Dec 15, 2009 - 8:52 AM)  You guys can syphon all day long if you'd like, I kinda got out of that after my mid teenage years. Just disconnect the outgoing line and all that jazz and start the car and follow the steps above....... OR go down to harbor frieght/your local hardware store/car parts store/I think even walmart carries them..... and get one of those pump things. I got mine for $30 at harbor freight....... I don't know about you guys but I'm not too keen on putting strange liquids in my mouth that come out of a hose, ESPECIALLY if you think it's too dirty for your car. Just my .02  i wouldnt as well but ill be using a siphon w/ a handpump -------------------- God made man....
