Been tracking down power steering leaks for a while now. Finally decided to just rebuild the system.

New low-pressure 3/8” hose and constant-tension clamps installed from cooler to reservoir, and from rack to cooler. I ditched all the hardline and various connections and ran a single 3/8” hose from rack to cooler.

I’m having a crimped line made at a hydraulic shop tomorrow to replace my DIY 6AN line for the high pressure line. I’m also running a single hose for high pressure, directly from pump to rack with a Chase Bays steering rack 6AN adapter fitting.

Hoping that I can avoid leaks in the future by having a simpler system with less connections/junctions. I plan to upgrade the cooler in the future, but that’s a super easy install for this winter.
