Maybe I'm stupid, but my 97 is making some moaning noises when I turn and I'm assuming I'm low on power steering fluid. The thing is, I can't find the freaking power steering fluid resivoir. Anything that can help me find it would be appreciated. Thanks

Yay, I asked about power steering not too long ago. Like Herc said, it is a major PITA to get to. The person that ended up doing it for me removed my wheel and got to it from there. It's nasty under there. Have fun. lol

That aint sh*t compared to taking a whole engine out... actually that aint sh*t compared to almost anything I've done to a car!

Is it me or I am the only one that doesn't feel the effects of magna-steer?

I keep hearing a squeak in mine when I turn the wheel in parking lots...I originally thought it was the pump groaning but that has plenty of fluid...now since the weather has turned nicer i've had the windows down more and it sounds like its coming from the drivers side...could this be from where the strut turns?...like maybe dry bearings or a squeaking tie rod end?

well the squeaking is getting much more prominent...especially when I turn to the right...Please dont tell me my rack is going bad (but I still dont see a leak)

It may not be the rack but rather the joints where it connects to the hub assembly. Might just need some grease.
