Lexus GX 460 Power Steering
- GX 460 uses hydraulic power steering (not EPS) — power steering fluid requires periodic inspection and top-up
- Power steering fluid: use Toyota PSF (Power Steering Fluid) — check level at every engine oil service
- Power steering pump: inspect for whining noise on cold start and full-lock steering — early sign of pump wear
- Hydraulic hose inspection: check for seepage at hose connections at 80,000 km — proactive replacement prevents bigger leaks
