Default Dirtiest power steering fluid you've ever seen.

Finally decided to clean the power steering system as its been whining like a kenne bell lately. Used the ghetto method with a turkey baster but it actually worked surprisingly well.

Took a couple hours and six quarts of clear power steering fluid, but most of the bad fluid is out now. The first 30 minutes of flushing was nothing but pure black power steering fluid, then it got a little better. SLOWLY.

When I did mine at about 85k miles, it was pretty nasty. Worst I ever saw came out of a lifted K5 Blazer...made the stuff in your pics look new.
