Can you use brake fluid in place of power steering a 1992 explorer?
No, absolutely not. Brake fluid and power steering fluid are chemically incompatible and using brake fluid in a power steering system will cause catastrophic damage. The seals and other components in the power steering system are not designed to withstand brake fluid, which will cause them to swell, leak, and fail. This could lead to complete power steering failure, potentially resulting in a loss of control of the vehicle. Using brake fluid in the power steering system is extremely dangerous. Always use the correct power steering fluid specified in your 1992 Explorer's owner's manual.
