I want to change my power steering fluid and replace it with the Valvoline Syntec (or whatever). I don't want to use the turkey baster method that requires you to change it out several times before getting most of the old out, I want to do the method where you disconnect the return line and let it drain into a bucket. Can y'all post some pictures that show exactly which line I'd be disconnecting to do this? It's a bit hard for me to even tell where the power steering pump ends and some other engine component begins. Thanks!

 

There are only two places I can think of and this is the lower steering gear and the hydro boost unit for the brakes. Each thing has a pressure and return line.

 

I don't know where those are either. I think that in a case like this, a few pictures are worth a thousand words.

 

Well, lets see what I can dig out of my gallery.

Steering pump is here, drivers side underneath VP44 and intake piping. You can see the PS fluid resivoir cap and one of the lines going to the pump here in this picture :




Here is the lower steering gear. Drivers side It is the silver object with the white sticker with barcodes on it in the lower left hand corner. You can also follow the steering column from the fire wall to the lower steering unit.



And here is the hydro boost unit. It is the blue cylinder just to the left and behind the brake fluid resivoir. That blue cylinder is only part of the hydro boost unit but it stands out and is easily found.



Here is a closer shot of the hydro boost unit.



Hope these help.
