Power Steering Fluid Filter?

I know I've seen something in the past concerning a filter for the Power Steering Fluid...performed several searches...can't seem to finf it. Can anyone reply with the link or describe what/how this is done. I'm getting ready to flush my Power Steering and put in Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF. Thanks.

Ditto Rob D. I added a 4" piece of hose to the return at the hydroboost and then put the filter and then the stock return hose. This way if I have any warranty issues I can make it stock again. The filter does nothing but good but you never know about some dealers. After almost a year on the truck the fluid still smells good for Mercon. Before the filter it sort of had a rancid odor. I used Mercon V synthetic.

Actually, it took me more than that just to drink a beer while doing such an easy project.

One beer to install the filter, the rest of the 6 pack for the flush. I like to be thorough, lol.
