Power Steering Fluid
Filling & Bleeding
NOTE:
Always use new power steering fluid when filling.
NOTE:
Make sure that no hoses touch the frame. Hoses touching the frame may cause
system noise.
NOTE:
Make sure that all hose connections are tight. Loose connection might not leak, but
do allow air into the system.

2. For vehicles with hydro-boost, make sure the hydro-boost accumulator is fully
charged by starting the engine, press the brake pedal ten to fifteen times, then
turning off the engine.

Pressing the brake pedal with the engine off will discharge the hydro-boost
accumulator.
