2011 Ford Flex SE, 187K miles.
Power steering fluid in the reservoir is nice and bubbly, and there is evidence of the leak both at the reservoir and down at the pump, so I'm looking to replace both, all o rings, maybe hoses too. I wanted to ask the experts if there was any common faults or good things to replace while I'm in there.
Also, I've never seen a pump this dang low. Is the best way to access through the fender well? Like, removing the wheel and plastic shroud?
I need to replace brakes/rotors and wheel hubs as well, so I'll definitely be creating some room to work with.
Appreciate any advice and direction you can offer. This has been an amazing vehicle with so few problems!
