Power steering cooling system.

So I have run into some space issues and my question is.

How efficient or necessary is our power steering cooling line that runs in front of the A/C condenser?

For a daily driver that will hardly ever see a track and AWS is deleted. Can I get away with looping the return line back to the reservoir and removing the cooling line? Or should I, since I need the space in that area, make a new line / cooler?

The line doesn't look as efficient as our condenser or radiator but I would assume it serves some purpose. What could I expect in terms of rack and pump life expectancies?

thank you gvr4.org members.

I got rid of mine years ago. I haven't noticed any problems with just looping the line at the res.

^^Mine is out as well, needed the room for the front mount install & have noticed no difference what so ever. And I still have, for the time being, 4WS.

Lose it. Get a reservoir bottle from and Talon/Eclipse/Laser and you don't have to loop anything. It is also a lot smaller. You will lose your fluid level sensor but that is no big deal.
