I just did a lazy flush, pulled the rack line, ran some fluid thru it running, closed it up ran it, flushed it again. Took under 30 minutes. Worked like a champ after that with well over 300K on all steering components. I think power steering flush is out of most peoples thoughts for maintenance.

Interesting. I've got no PS pump whine and it just all of a sudden started doing it so I don't think that's what caused it, but this is a good reminder to flush mine and clean the screen anyway.
I got it aligned yesterday and it
seems like it's much better but I did get a little groan/creak out of it when I was trying to replicate it. I'll try to remember to shoot a short video and put it on youtube tomorrow.
