Power Steering Cooler
Did any 3rd gens come equipped with a power steering cooler? Reason I'm asking is when I got home today I heard what sounded like my power steering boiling

I think that they all did. Look for a loop of steel tubing that runs under the front of the car. It is in the low pressure return line from the steering box.

I think the steering coolers started around 1984,easy to add OEM or other to early thirds-one I used I think came from a Jeep

Re: Power Steering Cooler
Thanks everyone, mine is for sure missing that. I found an aftermarket for 20 bucks. Guess that will be a very near future project
