Power steering pump/line question
Does anyone have a picture of how their ps lines are connected to the part of the rack that is connected to the steering wheel? One of my lines seems to be very close to the steering connector and im worried it could wear through the line...

the hose from the bottom of the PS pump is the high pressure line. It has a "L" shaped end that connects to the steering rack. It is routed under the steering box and it should not be anywhere close to the steering shaft or clamping bolt. If it is, you should gently bend it away so it does not rub. You can't mix the two lines up on the rack because I'm pretty sure the two ports are different sizes. The other line coming out of the rack is the low pressure line. It will go to the bottom of the PS reservoir, OR if you have a Z06 it goes to the PS cooler and then up to the reservoir. I don't have any pics, but I hope this helps. Note - make sure you don't lose the rubber O-ring that fits on the high pressure line nipple.
