Power steering issues

[Chris]

Good evening all,

I had a quick question. I noticed on my Honda today that when the car is on, the power steering fluid swishes around in the reservoir like it had a hot tub water tube pumping out water. Is this normal? I don’t remember this happening on any other Honda I have ever looked at. If it isn’t, what causes it?

Thanks,
Chris

It’s normal to see fluid moving when running. If your talking about foaming up, I have heard of Honda’s doing that when you mix Honda fluid with others

now that you mention it yes they used other power steering fluid before. I attempted to flush it but don’t think I got it out completely. thanks

You may have to do drain & fill , several times . Turn the steering wheel back & forth , lock to lock . This will help get the fluid mixed . And the air out .

Best of luck

God bless
