I have a question about my rhd steering rack. I can't find a rhd maintenance manual to answer this questions so maybe some just knows from experience. I have the large line with the threaded fitting, (pic 1) which I assume is the pressure line that goes to the power steering pump and the smaller line that has no fitting (pic2) I assume runs to the reservoir. Could anyone verify that for me? Also if Im adding a cooler in the system I'm assuming that would go off the smaller line before the fluid gets back to the reservoir. Any help would be great.

 

the line with the fitting goes here


and the line without the fitting is the upper one i think


i will draw you a chart of how its hooked up when i get home from work

edit: now that i re-read your post, i didnt really help you at all =\....... i will do better tonight

 

Hahahah. Cr rex ur the best. Thanks for helping me out. Let me know what you find out when you get a chance no hurry. I'm still building the car. If you could trace both of those lines and tell me where they go to I think that might give me the answers I'm looking for. Also which line the stock cooler is mounted on.

 

ok i got it... i also made this cool chart. keep in mind that driver side is RHD driver side so the turbo side of the car. hopefully this helps. just typing it up confused me a little bit. if you need me to clear anything else up i will take as many pictures of whatever that you need.



this is your threaded line. #2 in the chart. it comes off the top of the ps pump


the line coming from the back of the ps pump goes directly to the cooler. it the thing thats a little blurry with the two twist clamps on it. you can see how some kind of thing was used here to attach the line from the back of the ps pump to a rubber line that was just cut to size. it says goodyear on it.


the lower hose attaches to the right side of the cooler (RHD passenger side) and is the line coming directly from the back of the ps pump. the upper hose is #1 in the chart.


then the lines are ran to the cooler. driver side is on the left.

 

There a mistake somewhere because the last pic is the auto trans cooler! The PS cooler is just a loop of steel pipe in front of the radiator!

 

No mistake. That is the atf cooler being used as a ps cooler. A mod that the previous owner set up

 

RHD is the same, only rack is reversed. FSM is your friend .
