Well I have a bad leak from the power steering hard line (return line) right by the turbo on the passanger side. The turbo melted the return line and caused it to leak out all of my fluid. Has anyone else ever had this problem before? And if so how have you fixed it? Right now its at Nissan on a lift waiting for me to figure out what I want to do. Its $360.00 to order a new steering rack and I dont wanna spend that much so I guess Im open to any suggestions at this point!

 

most Greddy users get that, the turbo housing rubs a hole in the line

I just ran a soft hose to run it around and away from the turbo

 

Yep, just got off the phone with Shariff and he talked me over what to do. Thanks though for the reply west....btw where is lakeworth Fl in relation to Naples?

 

almost directly across the state, between West Palm Beach and Boca Raton

 

my oil feed on my car rubbed through this line. part is like 40 bucks from the dealer and it took me just over an hour to swap it out

 

Good Luck Jon - Hope you are back on the road soon.

 

Oh alright west, I thought I saw your car before running around in naples. Maybe it was someone else? Thanks Chris, and yea Ill be back on the road tomorrow : P

 

I had this happen too. I noticed some PS fluid leaking under the car. IIRC, it is the compressor housing that rubs against the PS hard line and will wear a hole in the PS line. I took my line off, had the line welded up, and then reinstalled it (with a new bend in the line) so that it clears the turbo.

I self-installed my kit. IF I were to ever install another one of these kits, I would know to bend that line out of the way. I'm sure all the regular shops who install alot of greddy kits do this now, too.

 

I had the same problem and i took off the line assembly wich was a small pita and had a freind weld it up also.

 

Fixed it this afternoon by replacing the whole line. Now its back up and running. Also did a bumper tuck while I was down on the ground. Turned out to be a good day : )

 

Great work. As others have mentioned, it's a fairly well known issue. When we install kits, we always bend the OEM line out of the way, and heat wrap it for good measure. It isn't the heat, as much as the physical abrasions that rub a hole through the OEM line.

Best of luck, and let me know if need anything in the future.

 

Nice to see your back on the road. What is the bumper tuck?

Happy New Year brother!

 

Thanks Shariff, Im sure Ill be able to find more stuff for ya in the future. Esp this time next year. Chris the bumper tuck is where you roll the rear bumper up in the center so it gets rid of the 2 exhaust holes and makes on giant one across the bumper. Just seach "bumper tuck" It looks awsome with the AAM exhaust also. And happy near you too you also man.

 

Ohhhh..... i like it!!!!

I was like WTF and then I saw who wrote it - hilarious!!

Nice pics bro

 

Ah, I wondered if I was the only one who has had this problem before. LOL
I had this happen a couple months ago and just went down to Checker auto parts, got flex PS line and replaced that whole line with a flex hose.

 

wow my PL downpipe did the same thing to the powersteering hardline.

 

I guess this my problem right now, will have to look at it.
