The weather just got cold here in salt lake city and my power steering is very stiff until the car warms up. I'm wondering if I have water in the p/s fluid that is freezing. Is this possible and how do you change the p/s fluid?? Thanks for any help!!

couldnt help, but since it got cold here mine started leaking, so i took off the belt and said FU
Yes the p/s fluid level is good, the first thing I checked. But good question, sometimes the obvious can get you.
Coming from where it is cold... (lol) i'd say that its just normal for power steering to be stiff before the car is warmed up. my roars and whines and shudders and sounds like a 5 ton diesel truck until tis warm.
another thing u mite wanna try for faster warm-ups is remove your cold/ram air intake and put yer old stock box and snorkel back in for the winter months.
