Drained p/s reservoir (1liter) and filled with fresh fluid:
- Pentosin CHF11S
On the Brake/PS Res fill... Do you prefer that rather than flushing the entire system? I'm getting the prompt to get it flushed now. Thats a lot of 11S.

I didn’t think a flush was necessary. And to be honest, I was worried about messing with the lines on such an old/expensive system. I did 3 drain and fills (driving in between each) about 30k miles ago and will be doing a drain and fill every 10k going forward. Either way, it’s a lot of fluid. FWIW, the fluid got a little lighter, but is still dark. I’m not worried about it since there’s still a fair amount of fresh fluid in there now.

For brake fluid, I use a power bleeder and do a full flush every 2 years.

Kewl.

My brake/steering is the same. I have active suspension.

Bought 4 new Continental 4x4 Contact tires at Discount Tire, they should arrive for install by next weekend.

Went a little bit wider. Currently have Michelin RF's at 255/50/r19, changing to 265/50/r19's. Ordered a matching wheel to mount my best Michelin on for a spare since I'm giving up the RF's. Discount Tire is going to mount and balance my spare for free. Will post a pic when they are all mounted next weekend.

Same. It’s a complex system that holds a ton of fluid.

The brakes are a separate system though and not part of the p/s and suspension system. Standard vacuum brake booster.

Wife's 35d got an oil change and sway bar end links. Cured suspension knocking on one side... Other side needs strut mount. Oh well. At 153000 miles I'm sure she's ready for a complete suspension overhaul.

DIY pinned open stock exhaust valve. Only noticeable difference is on a cold startup. https://youtu.be/wizbvjxxp7c
