I've had troubles for a while with my steering getting extremely hard after driving for a while. It turns out that somehow my cooler has sprung a leak and has been letting antifreeze get into the power steering system. I bypassed the cooler to get me home but I need to know if I can continue to drive the car like this. I think I've completely flushed the system of all the bad fluid but I did hear the pump starting to make noise after I'd driven for about a half hour. Will I need another cooler?

 

Some cars didn't even come with a cooler, so I'd say you'd be fine. If you want, you can do what I did, and mount a small air cooled one in front of the radiator. No more coolant worries w/ that mod Good luck, and don't worry.

 

Thanks for the reply. When checking for a rack for the car I found that there were 3 different types. Is it possible that maybe with the different racks, maybe coolers might be necessary? Did all SSs and WS6s come with an upgraded steering system?

 

I think that all ws6 and ss had the cooler. At some point I think that the z28 and T/A started coming with them standard because my 02 Z28 has the cooler.
