Power steering complaining

Well my 2002 is starting to make some slight whining sounds at low speeds turning the wheel. I did check thefluid its normal level. However it is the original fluid with 153000 miles on it. May be worth it to flush the system and top off with fresh? Lol...hopefully the pump is still good..any one else have problems?

I'd say change out your fluid the best you can, replace with new fluid and add Lucas power steering additive

Use a turkey baster to suck out all the fluid you can from the reservoir, and refill with some synthetic Mercon V ATF. Do not put any Lucas in there.
