Power Steering lines –
Does anyone hate their power steering system as much as I do! Two years ago I replaced everything, lines, valve, steering box, tie rod ends you name it. I can never get the lines to stop leaking, lately it has gotten worse I cannot keep the delivery line tight. I tighten it and within a day or two it works itself free and I am leaking major fluid. I have gone through 2 quarts in less than a week. I have tried tying the lines back away from the headers to still allow movement but nothing seems to work. I am getting frustrated; these troubles are making me want rack and pinion more than ever. What was for thinking when they designed this system? It stinks!!!!!!!!! I was just wondering how some of you felt. I cannot be the only one with these problems, I hope.
