Looped my steering lines

[Tip]

I looped my steering lines yesterday. In doing so I left the fluid that didn't run out in it. Will this be enough to maintain it? Thanks lemme know.

If I understand you correctly your going from the pump right back into the pump and not going to the steering box at all?

 

[Tip]

No sir. I removed tha pump all together. The steering box is left with the high pressure and low pressure line ends connected. Im concerned about tha fluid capacity in it.

I think it should be fine. as long as you have some fluid in the box. Are you replacing your pump or are you converting to manual steering?

 

[Tip]

Keeping it as is for tha extra hp. It ain't too bad with 15x4's

is it a track only car or is it a street strip car?

 

[Tip]

Street/strip

Since Ive done this, when turning, it seems to have a "catch" to it when coming out of the turn. Is this normal?

I was told by an older fellow... That it will work for a little,,, then eventually it will lock up.. (do to lack of fluid) Dunno tho for sure,, As I never left it that way, Long enough to find out...

Fluid is in tha box. No leaks.
