Relocating Magnum power steering return? - 04/18/16 11:42 PM
The power steering return fitting on the stock 5.2 Grand Cherokee pump is right under my battery tray - too far under to just trim a notch in the tray. I lost it first when I blew a motor mount, second yesterday when I was jacking my engine and forgot about that issue.
I could just JB it back on (again) but I'd rather relocate it away from the tray. Would I be better off plugging the side and drilling a new hole in the back of the reservoir, or putting a hole in the cap and feeding a tube down under the fluid level? There is a baffle inside that keeps me from seeing what's going on in the bottom. Is it just the pump inlet or do I risk hitting anything important inside?
