Ive been keeping an eye on my return power steering line - the one that goes over the drivers side strut tower - because mines been severely rusted for years. Well, yesterday it rusted through and leaked PS fluid everywhere.
Tried to use compression fittings and splice in a nice new piece of 3/8 pipe, couldnt. Mine rusted not only under the black rubber thing, but also about 2 inches out. Had to flare the ends and use PS hose and clamps. Strangely, the high pressure line looks fine?? But the return line sitting 1/2" away in the same piece of rubber rotted. Dont get that. Anyways....
I wondered now that I have a piece of hose in there that I can easily get at, what does the board think of those in line power steering filters? Ive always had to change my PS fluid every 30000 miles or so because it gets nasty quick. Would it be worth installing one? has anybody else?
