!PS, Loop the lines or just plug the holes? In doing the !PS mod.... while maintaining the stock steering rack, what do you guys thing of just plugging the lines that go up to the power steering pump. One is a pressure line and one is a return.
I was thinking these lines could just be plugged up instead of looped. It'd be a lot easier. That way you could also leave the other lines in tact.
What do you guys think?

Re: !PS, Loop the lines or just plug the holes? I like the looping idea better, since that will allow fluid travel in the rack even though the pump isn't there...
I don't honestly know if it really makes any difference, though... Mine is just looped...

Re: !PS, Loop the lines or just plug the holes? George, I know exactly what you are talking about.
However I think that the 2 brake line style lines on the PS are the directional lines.
The one feed from the pump is a pressure feed wich helps "pusH" the rack which way you turn where as the other i think is just a pressure vent.
That's how I think it works.
I'm going to see if I can pick up some plugs at Pep Boys and we'll see how that works.

Re: !PS, Loop the lines or just plug the holes? Thanks guys.. I looked all over for plugs but I couldn't find any that fit right or weren't extremely heavy.. so I looped the lines AND took pics!! I also took pics of my !ABS which is NOT easy.. I'll post them soon.
