power steering
« on: 17 May 2014, 00:51 »
This might be a stupid question but ill ask anyway.
Im changing the power steering fluid and was wondering do I need to bleed the system after.

I think the best way to bleed it is to fill the pot up with the engine running, turn the steering wheel from lock to lock. Repeat until the pot level settles

Just turn it lock to lock with the cap off and get someone to see if the bubbles stop.
