Power Steering Return / Pressure Hoses: Which is Which?
Planning a fluid flush and trying to determine which hose is the pressure hose and which is the return at the reservoir… Anyone have a pic or diagram of a 2011 3.2L which illustrates the pressure/return hoses? I looked online and I’m more confused now than before I started.

Flushing a power steering system is a messy job. If you loosen a fitting on the rack - fluid goes everywhere. If you want to deal with that - ok.
If it were me and I really wanted to change my steering fluid - for some unknown reason - maybe self flagellation or the thought that it was really going to make a difference in the long run ( sorry I've been in the car repair business for a very long time )
I would use a suction bulb or drain the reservoir, refill it, run the car and turn the steering back and forth for a moment, then repeat that a few times until I felt better about the condition of the fluid in my power steering system.
