Change Interval for Power Steering Fluid?

[10/10ths]

....I totally get that.

I did NOT have any issues at all. As far as I was concerned, the car felt fantastic and nothing was wrong at all with the steering.

I changed it as a preventative measure because I had read so much copy about power steering pump failures. I drive my car cross-country on vacation at least once a year and I didn’t want to be in the middle of the Vermilion Cliffs and have my power steering pump fail.

I was shocked that I actually felt an improvement in the steering feel. I was not expecting that at all. I still cannot understand why it would make a difference big enough for me to actually feel. But it did.

If somebody had told me that changing out old power steering fluid would make my car steering feel improve, I would have told them they were nuts and it was all the placebo effect.

But damn, it actually did.

Cheers.

I’m not disputing what you’re sayin. Prob does make the car steer better, but I was just too lazy.
