My 86 with 91,000 miles had a bad case of morning sickness. I read a post earlier about using a turkey baster to change the power steering fluid so I gave it a try. AMAZING results. When I first sucked the old fluid out I was surprised at how black to fluid was, and it was full of junk. After just two flushes the morning sickness is gone. I am on my fourth flush trying to get the fluid clean and I am just amazed at the difference in the way the steering feels, and no more morning sickness. I would highly recommend this to anyone that has alot of miles on their vehicle.

Great news!!! Now ... did you refill it with regular normal fluid or did you try a synthetic product???

In my opinion, synthetic would be GRAVY! :rofl:

I sucked the old fluid out with a turkey baster. Then I refilled it with some GM fluid and some Lucas Power Steering Oil. The refill fixed the "morning sickness" while the Lucas stopped my leak. :D

I suck out the old fluid with every oilchange. I use a gear oil pump. Works great but you need to keep it vertical. I also use Valvoline synthetic ps fluid. :hurray:

I just did this a while ago and no more moaning or vibration. I sucked it out with a turkey baster and refilled with ATF.

I've been changing my power steering fluid for years in my 87 but last year morning sickness just wouldn't go away so I finally had to install a rack.

Mine was pretty black and indicated a rack on the way out. I'm going to try the Lucas this spring and hope for the same results you got...

You can do that? Interesting.

I am using regular power steering fluid for the flushes and bought Lucas oil at $6 a pint to put in it after I get it completely flushed.
