My car makes a "noise" when turning left & right -sounds like the
steering wheel is on a pulley - I think it’s my power steering fluid.
I was told that I can’t fill the steering fluid myself, is that true?
Also, I had car work done last month and was told that I should have
all my fluids "done" - ran outta money and couldn’t do that at the
time - mechanic quoted almost $400!!! is that reasonable. Any help
would be appreciated! Tks.

Changing all the power steering fluid is difficult, You can change
some of it by using a rubber syphon like on a battery tester or like
on an anti-freeze tester. Syphon as much as you can and then top it up
with new steering fluid, but watch out you don't put power steering
fluid in, most vehicles use transmission fluid in the power steering,
Dextron lll, etc.
