Where is the PS filter?

[spitz7985]

Autozone sells a Power Steering filter. I want to get a new one since I'm doing my rack and they say the number one cause of a bad rack is contaminated fluid. I drained all the old fluid but I want a new filter as well. So, where is it located? Thanks.

yes info on purging all the crap from the pump and lines would be appreciated.

There isn't one on it stock. The ones they sell are some sort of inline little canister, right? Those are add-ons, just cut the return/low pressure hose in a convient place and put it in line. Replace the first filter you install after a few thousand miles. Since it never had a filter, there's plenty of crap floating around and that first filter will catch it all at once and may get plugged up quick. After that, you can go a couple of years between filter changes. Use Dextron/Mercon (automatic trans. fluid) to refill.
