After buzzing around the back blocks of Gambier I noticed that my steering was feeling heavier. And the fluid was roasty hot.
This seems to happen every time I take to the sand/tracks/etc. So it does correspond with when I've been working the wheel hard.
This time my power steering reservoir had spewed a bit of fluid out. I figure the heat caused the expansion and therefore the spill.

I've plenty of space in front of the radiator for it to fit, and I can't see any reason a little bit more fluid would be harmful.
Installing it on the return line before the pump is apparently the right spot to do it.

Are there any downsides to fitting a PS cooler?
Why wouldn't I install one?

'cos it seems like a no brainer right now.

Only downsides are abit of extra $n and to make mounts and some low pressure return hose (cheap from shop) with extra hose clamps

Anything to get oil cooler with pumps is a good thing.


I have a used corolla seca 'engine oil cooler' on my return ps line. Yet to test how it goes in the bush, But its better than nothing for a heavy zook on 35's

Plenty of cars run them from factory. Go right ahead and fit one, and flush all the old fluid out while you're there
