    Took power steering off, question

    I took the power steering off my m20 and everything's fine. I just want to know if I need to plug the tube coming from the steering rack to keep the fluid in there for lubrication purposes. Right now its not plugged and fulid will come out when I turn. Thanks.

    Yes you have to lock it in order for fluid to stay in there, but before you plug it, make sure there is fluid.

      I'm sure I'll figure out what to use, but I wanted to ask what other people have used.

        Try searching, as I KNOW I have answered this many times for other people that can't search.

          Thats why I said "I'm sure I'll figure it out". I'm smart enough to know that I don't know everything, and someone else might have good information to share out of personal experience. I grant you this though Jordan, there is no substitute for accomplishing things on your own, but it never hurts to ask for another persons qualified opinion. So how could it be detremental for me to bounce around ideas with hundreds of other people which might be more knowledgeable than me? Hence the creation of a forum.

            nicely said

            so the question is... how do you plug it? do it the civilized way... w/ a butt plug ;)
