Power Steering Problem 850

My steering seems sticky and occasionally binds with that power steering pump sound. Happens mostly at low speed and backing up. Seems fine once under way. Should I flush? If so, how? Do I use a turkey baster, take out as much as I can, fill, use, then repeat several times? Is there a better way? Thanks!

Hi,

Look the universal joint attached to the power steering rack (just outside the firewall). Got mine replaced myself because beering on universal joint were bad causing hard steering. For the power steering pump, no idea. Maybe flushing the fluid and topping with new will help. Those pump are very hard to kill (but for sure, they need to suck up fluid not air)
