flushing power steering fluid
flushing power steering fluid How do I flush the power steering fluid? I'm pretty sure it doesn't have a drain plug but i have noticed that it foams. Every time I checked it foams up. Please help? and what fluid should I put in? 
If it is foaming up you are getting air into the system, you may have a leak somewhere. The factory pumps are junk, as are the replacement GM ones. If you have problems with your pump get a Turn One Pump.
As far as flushing the fluid you can drain some out with a turkey baster and replace with fresh, running the engine in between. You will need to do this a few times to be effective.
The other way is to disconnect the return line and have the pump suck fresh fluid from a bottle while the other end of the hose runs into a pan while the engine is running. This can be a mess but works much better.
Run synthetic power steering fluid, whatever you can find.
Good Luck!!

subscribing..... You can buy the pump from Lingenfelter, or direct from Turn One.
