Bent power sterring lines... Advice please

[MrSoutherland]

Dropped my new SR in and the pan sat on top of the line that is facing the rearend. It sits behind the rack. Is there a easy place to source a replace or what have you guys done? I tried searching and didn't find anything.

hey, you can make a new one if youre driven but thats a pita, check youre local junkyards, i personally got an entire steering set up, pump, belt lines and all for like 35 dollars. junk yards are your bff.

[MrSoutherland]

There's no such thing of a 240 being in a junk yard around me.

have you even looked at it?

its basically a brake hardline

remove it, take it to advanced, get the right size nut/ piping

bend it to fit

its so simple

The guy who swapped my KA in my first 240 did this.It's extremely hard to get new pipe fittings for the rack w/ the same thread pitch SO here's what you do.

First of all if your lines aren't broken and just bent, bend them back and you're done lol.

If not,Take the old line off , remove the threaded end fittings from the line. Take the line to an auto parts store and find some brake line/hard line the same size.

Buy that, it will come with fittings that don't thread in so throw those out.Cut the new line and bend it to fit.You'll need a brake line/ pipe flaring tool, just make sure you insert the old threaded pipe couplers on to your new line before you flare them out.Then you're ready to install

[MrSoutherland]

Awesome! I knew it was easier then I thaught.

i say its a pain in the butt, i dont like messing with lines or bending/fixing them...i have an awful habit of kinking them and throwing them against a wall.damn these big gorilla hands....damn them.

tom's absolutely right. save the fittings if you're making another line. there is no possible way to find them anywhere, and thats not an exaggeration

reread my post. i never said you could get the lines. i said you cant get the fittings

~$30 actually now that you mention it, the parts guy tried to tell me I had to buy the entire steering rack. But after a couple strong words he just gave me the lines. d!ck...

Oops, my fault. Carry on
