In today's video, I will show you step by step how to flush out the power steering fluid in your car. I will be performing it on a 2004 Lexus GS 300 but the method I use can be used for any car with a hydraulic power steering system which is most cars on the road today. This is a service that is commonly neglected but is very useful to extend the life of expensive power steering parts and is downright mandatory if you have the wrong type of power steering fluid in your car.
