How or where do you start to flush/change power steering fluid?
Is there a drain plug in the rack or do you remove a hose? I can do it all myself just cant find the info if anyone has done this.Is there a DIY? My PS resevoir's fluid is dark..
Thanks

Get another person to help you. Remove the return line (small hose) from the reservoir and have it pump into a bucket or something to catch the fluid. Then get ready with a new jug of power steering fluid and have the other person start the car. Just fill the reservoir as it's being drained and as you start to see clean fluid pouring out of the return hose have them shut off the car, attach the hose, and top it off.

Wait dumb question.. do you mean remove the small hose attached to the back of the PS reservoir with the compression clamp? How do you fill the reservoir as the car is running and the fluid is circulating and pissin outta the hose.. or is there 2 hoses attached to the PSR.. Man I'm like wahh?? Only owned the car for 2 weeks but it seems so Chinese . wish the motor was turned around straight like my ole Z06 was, then things might make sense..lol Isn't the fresh fluid going to **** out the rear of the reservoir where i removed the small hose? What am I missing here? Or is there something I'm not getting here.. my mind is a mess lately with blanks. lol
Thanks man

Gotcha! Thanks. I can see clearly. Went out to the garage and had a better look. Do you know roughly how much the whole system holds? A couple litres/quarts? You meant new 5.0 stangs right? lol jk..
Thanks again
