Is it okay to use regular power steering fluid in the KJ...like Lucas. Or does it have to be ATF+4?

Mine is an 05 and takes ATF+4 per my FSM..........BUT ......some of the earlier models had a different fluid spec. I am not sure, so this will be an interesting thread.

Where's tjkj or one of you other professional mechanics??

How about changing out all the steering fluid? Any of you do that? Sorry the post made me think of how I had a place tell me I should and I have not heard of that one before.

Yeah, I did it earlier this summer. I have a friend who has a machine at his auto repair shop, (also did the brake fluid with Amsoil brake fluid) but you can do both the old fashioned (manual) way too.

(wiping forehead) I put some lucas ps fluid in there to help stop the leak and hopefully postpone the rack replacement as long as possible. Thought I coulda just screwed that and all the seals.

Thanks guys
