I had my lower control arms replaced. Ever since , the steering is stiff. I did this described in the video. It helps a lot like your car. Later, I'll do it again to have more new power steering fluid than old fluid.

I am pretty new to cars, but this seems pretty straight forward, except that 1/3rd of the fluid measurement. How did you measure 1/3rd fluid to be removed? and should I use the full new bottle - I mean is 1 full bottle = 1/3rd of the fluid removed? Does it work for Ford Explorer 2012 as well - my steering wheel feels really stiff.

Ive noticed how heavy mine is on my old 35 year old Mazda, compared to my civic, its bad, like you said, its like having no power steering. I doubt that its ever been changed in its life. I was going to crack the pipes off of the steering rack and drain it that way, will probably get most of it out the system, all that will be left is whats in the rack. Either way, its gonna be getting changed.

Try using wd 40 on the steering u joint, the grease drys out and gets hard on older cars and it makes the steering super stiff, some wd 40 on the joints or even taking them apart cleaning and re greasing them helps a ton

I had the same problem.l did as was instructed and it worked wonderfully. I did not have any pump so I pull the cover off the reservoir and rev the engine, the oil came out, and then I throw new oil into the reservoir and cover it and it worked. Under the hood was messy though which I cleaned.

I recommend after adding the new fluid turning the wheel back and forth with the wheel unlocked but the car OFF. If the pump was empty before you replaced fluid it can run dry for a moment which can damage it and also it will introduce tons of air bubbles into the steering system.

I did the flush a total of three times. Flush should be done once after every day or two of driving so that the new fluid added, has a chance to mix around. Do this up to three times so that the fluid can mix and disperse it self throughout the power steering system.
