taurus forums?
Any one know of a good clean active forum for Taurus owners?
My sis has one and I think some mechs are pulling her leg on a few things.
I've never heard of a power steering flush. Coolant, brake lines, tranny yes.
But power steering?
Is there something about taurus PS that's special?
I've invited her to join FTE, the best there is, doncha know.
I know she'll be well taken care of here.

Flushing the power steering on a Taurus isn't a bad idea. I've seen the oil in them get very black when the rack has problems inside it. How many miles on it? Any sign of problems?
Some garages do push flushes a lot as they are easy money.

If it's a Generation I or II, there's an excellent Taurus online repair manual here:

I have an 94 SHO and yes I have had to flush the power steering, I thought it was a load of crap until I talked to my cousin, who is a tech at a ford dealer**** and he said it is a common problem with the taurus when there is some problems with the rack... I know there are a few forums for SHO's but not sure for just the standard taurus

Oops, forgot to answer the question. 
Yes, I agree, flushing the PS system is a good idea, you should notice some improvement in the steering and it also can help with the "whine" that many Ford PS pumps seem to develop. I recommend a synthetic fluid, I use Mobil 1 ATF in all mine.
