Default Where's the power steering fluid reservoir located?
I have a 2015 GS 350 and last night I was looking under the hood and couldn't find the power steering fluid reservoir. Does this vehicle have one? I was looking to replace the current fluid but couldn't find it.

The 4th Gen Lexus GS is electric steer-by-wire! There is no fluid, no reservoir, no hoses, no pump, no leaks and no maintenance.

It’s electric, but it’s not steer by wire. There’s still a steering column, the electric motors just provides assist.

Thank you for the help! I will stop worry about flushing/replacing the fluid then.

Most of guys barley change the oil at 10k, let alone even put any new fresh fluids in.

At the same time with muffler bearings should change the piston return springs for optimal performance

Yes! I've changed mine to coil springs from railroad cars. Man, what a difference! Difficult to get enough traction when launching with these piston return springs.
