[QUOTE="Lloyd Chaudoin, post: 1019404, member: 70555"] I flush my power steering when I flush and service my transmission. Every 50K miles. I have also learned to use Mercon V trans fluid in it rather than basic Mercon III. It has a fairly high amount of friction modifier in it and really helps to quite down the pump and even runs much smoother. On a really noisy pump that hasn't been serviced much and the fluid is dark, drain some of the fluid out ( about 1/2 - 3/4 quart ). Add some motor flush ( or a small amount of kerosene ) to it and drive around your neighborhood for a few minutes. Go home flush out with cheep mercon and then fill with Mercon V trans fluid. Has always worked for me and I have never had to change a pump but once. The problem runs, with most people not servicing the system and it gets a lot of particulate in it. Just tears it up from the inside out... [/QUOTE]
