    power steering filter?

    Is it ok to run an in line filter for the power steering? Kind of like the inline fuel filters or do you have to run the ones that are attached to the bottom of the reservoir?

    If you can run an inline filter, can you run it on the line from the p.s. pump to the servo so it will catch any debris from a broken pump (or is the psi to high)?

    thanks for any help!

    In line filter is the way to go. Should be between the steering box and the resivor.

    Your filter should be before the pump / after the rez.
    Cross-threading is just as tight as Loctite

    Unless you have an integral reservoir. . .then between the box and the pump in the return line.
