Hello,

I am trying to come up with a way to reroute the power steering line to pass in front of the radiator rather than running uselessly along the frame rail. I was just wondering if there would be any issues with the pump by running a longer line?

Thanks in advance.

What is the point in doing this? Do you need more clearance?

I am trying to keep the fluid from burning up so quick. I figure a line running in fron tof the radiator with some cooling fins on it will help keep the fluid cooler.

they sell power steering coolers that'll hook up the frame

thanks JCT. are the tC specific or universal. where would i look to get one?

Why would you possibly be burning up power steering fluid on this car???

X2. Something isn't right the OEM setup is more than sufficient!

yea.
OEM>all

but if you want to re-route it. yes you can, youll be fine.
get the same diameter hose.
bleed the system.
hook up the new hose.
re-fill the reservoir.
its gonna take a while to sound normal, just sit in the car in the driveway and turn the wheel left and right.

I don't know if this is the best one out there, but ebay has a few:
