Power steering fluid change.
Posted: Mon Mar 28, 2016 3:25 pm
Hey guys,
Lately I've noticed my steering feels a bit tough. Car is a 1991 Legacy AWD auto 2.2L non turbo.
This is when driving on a straight road, then a slight curve, when I turn it feels a tiny bit stiff for a second. Then it's fine.
However, when going the other direction now, to straighten back up, it will be stiff again for that second. Then fine again.
So I checked the fluid and it looks very brown.
I figured I'd change the fluid on it, but I can't find very much info on it for a 1st gen.
I did see a video on youtube for a 95, but he was just siphoning it out from the reservoir.
Don't the lines need to be done as well?
Just looking for a bit more info on changing the fluid, or, maybe someone has some insight on the issue I described above.
Thanks!
