Alright I picked up my Disco last weekend and noticed that the steering was a little bit tougher than I'm used to. So opened up the PS resevoir and it was a bit low, so I added some PS fluid. Was fine until I shut the truck off. Came back out and heard a pinging when the wheel was cranked, straightened out and it was fine. Then went into a parking lot and it started a little louder. I cannot see anything and it didn't do it until I added some fluid, so I'm assuming that may be the problem. What fluid exactly am I supposed to use? And how do you flush the PS system? I'm away from home so it'll be a parking lot job... | ||

alright are you supposed to use ATF instead of PS fluid? If so how do you flush the PS system? | ||

yep, ATF. not sure how to do a full bleed, but there is a bleed screw on top of the steering box (if that is helpful at all). | ||

yeah i found an old post, it said that it's not a huge deal if you use PS fluid, but I'm wondering about this pinging that seems to be associated with this. if i could drive about 50 miles on it I could do it in my garage but i'm not so sure since it's the steering... | ||

hey try lucas oil products while you are at it! they seem to work! try to suck the fluid out with a suction hose and top up again. cycle the steering wheel with the engine running and repeat. do this a few time until you feel that you have all the ps fluid out. this might work. |
