    so i just replaced my power steering pump and it is working but when i turn it it makes a bad noise and the fluid is foaming up and overflowing. do i need to get a flush to get rid of the noise or is something else wrong? thanks

    bleed it... you have air in the system... run it lock to lock.. dont holdit at lock longer then 2 secs... then turn it off for a few minutes.. do that a few times... should eventually bleed the system...

    i'm letting it sit over night because the fluid is all foamy but i'm pretty much doing that untill the noise goes away. is there any special fluid that you would suggest putting in it?
