Power Steering Fluid
 
Hey all

How do you check the Power stearing fluid on a my99.

The power steering seems to have a whine on it everynow and again usually when hot.

hi

i had same problem , i have a 95 wrx and its at the front of the bay just unscrew the cap and there is a dip stick fixed to the under side of it ..

cost me 6.99 for the smallest tub they do and only needed a spoon full :wonder:

but solved the problem

make sure you buy the right one , should say on the top of the power steering cap

anyway thats if they are the same as a 95

Quick tip - if it looks full but you're getting whining, it's not actually full. You can pour a quarter of a litre in and the level will stay still. So don't trust the level you can see, it will take a lot more before it gets to the max mark.

Any specific power steering fluid as my old calibra turbo need special stuff.

Ive used ATF on every car Ive owned and never had a problem.

I used normal PS fluid from my local motor factors. Was about £3 or £4.
