I hadn’t realised that that comment could be misconstrued.
Re those pipes. There may be some misunderstanding here.
The ones I am referring to do not return to the fluid reservoir. Those ones are definitely flexible.
My rack has two rigid metal pipes located externally along it’s length. These are the ones which, if not a accurately bent and fitted with non standard short unions at each end, foul the sub frame.
One end of each one is fitted into the “pinion box” of the rack near to where the pipes from the compressor are fitted.
One pipe is longer than the other.
The other end of the long one is fitted into the rack housing near the far end of the rack.
The other end of the shorter one is fitted into the rack housing approximately at the middle point of the housing.
I may be completely wrong but my thinking is that those pipes return fluid, which has been displaced by the movement of the rack, back to the “pinion housing” so there must be some pressure within them, albeit not great.
