    Can anyone tell me whether to use Power steering fluid or ATF in my, about to be replaced, steering gear (that I just purchased from RockAuto..great customer service there)?

    Scott,

    The shop manual on page 0B-4 says 'power steering fluid' but on page 0B-7 says DEXRON-III Automatic Transmission Fluid. I'm guessing you should go with ATF.
