This thread is to get feedback on PS units and how to get the most out of them
I had a Nissan and its PS units failed at 120K and my brother has a Lexus and it failed at 140K (both pump and racks). We rarely do steering locks on our vehicles though my brother does steering locks quite often. I maintain and flush my units every 60-80K and he never.
What can anyone get from this data but generally speaking what is the best one can get from their PS units and what can be done to prolong them. PS seems to be the most neglected PM pieces in vehicles and their capacity (1Q) makes them more prone to failure.
Pl. chime in
