Also how did you drive 90 mins with no fluid? I left my OEM pump on drove home 15 mins and that thing was smoking like Crazy!!! thought it was going to catch on fire.

What were ur symptoms of bad power steering?

the suction hose is the one that pulls from the reservoir (hose from reservoir to the inlet of the PS pump where the suction fitting is.) mine was constantly pulling air into the system which is why I couldn’t bleed it.

I burst the PS high pressure hose at an autocross event (it rubbed against the part of the chassis and ended up splitting open). I had no fluid in the reservoir at all… drove home 90 min anyway..

I’ll post pics of the faulty GTM part this weekend
