You know, Sir, I would get this one wrong on your test.

I have never changed the fluid in power steering over the course of 17 years of 240 ownership, some of them owned nearly that long, and driven hundreds of thousands of miles...

Except, when I bought this $600 car in '03, it already had fluid in the (torn) boots, so I bought a rack from Jorgen. Then, of course, I changed the fluid, according to the warranty requirement as well as according to common sense.

I suppose my power steering racks or pumps are living on borrowed time?? An anecdote just like the one about the 98-year old Camel smoker.



Daily driver.
