Has anyone flushed the power steering system? I have 154k miles and have never touched it, or am I just asking for probloms?

What you can do is use a pressure washer around the power steering fluid bottle, drive around or check the next day for any leaks.

From what I recall reading you just suction out the old fluid and drop in new fluid. Not sure of any flush type procedure and I am too lazy to check the FSM.
