My 200K+ taurus has somewhat dirty and grimy power steering fluid. I had to cut off the short return hose today and replace with a short line to get it going. I did not flush it today, buts that's on the list. Even with a flush, i'll bet there's crud in the system. So the question is, is there insertable power steering fluid filters? The logical place would be in the 3/8" return line right before the pump. What would be the difference between a fuel line metal can filter and a filter for PS fluid? I have never seen anyone discuss this before and was curious. I can get some fuel type can filters cheap. And it would be a short term deal anyway. Thoughts?
