Anyone has to replace theirs? Also, is bleeding the system necessary or 'recommended'?

Thanks.

is your car leaking steering fluid? Have you tried using Fluid Seal

 

no leaks ....

 

then why replace it ange? you would have to bleed but thats just as easy as opening the power steering fluid cap and turning the wheel from left to right and back a couple of times...I think...there is no bleeder valve though.

 

i hear an awkward sound shortly after the car is cranked.. I have no idea what could be the cause of it... it just drives me nuts because it doesn't happen consistantly enough where I can drive the car to a mechanic and have him hear the same noise.

 

So when the car is cold while warming up you hear that sound? its like a small tik tik tik tik or? Because I had that sound for months..

 

the small tick tick tick sound I've always had on the car...

When the car is left overnight.. and I crank the car the next morning, I hear a delayed-noise coming from driver's side of enginbay shortly after the car cranks.
