Does anyone know where the Power Steering fluid goes. I am pretty sure i am low on fluid but can not locate the resvoir. I checked in the manual and it says to go to the dealer. I was wondering if anyone on here knows where it is and knows what kind of steering fluid would be good to use. thanks- Will __________________

Backside of the radiator, on the driver's side. And just in case you didn't know, the power steering fluid is ATF. | | | | | 01-16-2007, 05:17 PM | #3 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: Memphis, Tn Posts: 1,299 |
Thanks for the info. i found the resvoir and it really needed some fluid. It was a little bit tricky to get to it to pour new fluid in but I found a container small enought to down there. I am glad I saved some money but not going to the dealer for such an easy to do.  __________________

Make sure that you filled it with ATF (automatic trans fluid), not some generic power steering fluid.
Good Luck __________________

Like it needs to be Automatic Transmission Fluid? I put ATF in there I just didnt know if it stood for that or not? __________________
