Power steering cooler

cjsxj87 · Jun 29, 2012

I goit a power stering cooler for my xj, but what should I hook it up too? The high pressure line or the ow pressure line? I was thinking the low pressure line would prolly be a better choice for hooking it up. but im not sure.

Low pressure line, unless you want your cooler to asplode!

This.

Make sure the line from the box goes to the bottom of the cooler and the top of the cooler to the resi. This will keep air pockets out and the cooler will cool better.

^^ Good advice. I have mine (from an F350) mounted at the bottom of the grill panel on the driver's side. Plenyt of room for the lines to run between the header and the radiator.

A ZJ trans cooler fits perfectly behind the front Xmember

Another thing to consider about PS coolers, make sure to use a tube&fin style not a plate style.

Do the plate style not flow well enough?

i used a plate style, didn't have any issues, it made a difference.

they say it will cause the fluid to cavitate.

The cooler off of the Ford is a fin and tube. These have been the norm for decades on factory installations.

Just bring the fluid in at the bottom and out the top when installed lengthwise. I have seen a couple of installations where the cooler was mounted vertically (input/output on top) but that seems a tad strange to me.

As simple, effective, mod.

That's right way to mount I have one on my V8 XJ and had one on my 1966 1 ton 454 turbo charged truck it helped with the 44's.
