This is the return/ PS cooler line. The pressure side only travels at the rear of the engine.

The portion near the bottom of the screen installs along the rear of the engine , the right side portion travels along the passenger side up to the front and the top portion runs across the front of the cradle.

While we're at it, what's that metal wire brush-looking piece under the vehicle near the center splash guard. Mine seems to hang and the "fins" got a little damaged when I ran over something in the road. I have tried to unbend what I could but there are areas on the back and side that were completely flattened.

Is it serviceable or would I have to replace whatever else it's connected to?

The return line/ cooler line in my above pic is PN 1917771 it is the standard cooler line, now GXP25 has shown the Police package cooler line PN 19177770 which actually has a cooler for extreme conditions. Both come as complete assemblies.

Why bother with that stock garbage cooler. I don't know how you'd call that a police package deal when all gxps have that stupid "Cooler". I cut the lines and usedan swagelock fittings to a little tube fin cooler

wasn't there a power steering recall ? Pretty sure they sent me one. Not sure if it covered the GXP though

Yea there was , i had the repair done on my MC. While they removed my subframe they cracked it and i got a whole new one.

The purpose of the fins is to increase Surface area. Just because they are a little bent does not mean the surface area has changed. It would be different if they where all mashed flat but that looks fine to me.
