The steering system in 1994 and prior model year cars and light duty trucks should be bled after any of the following:
-
A power steering component is replaced.
-
A fluid line is disconnected.
-
A customer comments on steering system noise.
Bleeding air from the steering system should be done in order to prevent pump damage, ensure proper operation, and to eliminate steering system noise.
