No Power steering!

Post by paulmeisterpk »

So I started up the car the other day and had no power steering. I get out and one of the metal lines underneath the rack had a hole in it and was leaking badly. So I drove it back to its parking spot in the driveway.
Does anyone know where i can get the lines that go underneath the rack? Also, I was thinking of just disconnecting the power steering lines from the pump and making a recirc hose just to keep the pump from seizing up. I don't really have the money to buy a new rack, so I think I'm just going to drive without PS for a while. Is there any way I can delete the whole pump with a different belt setup?
Any help is appreciated.

iirc the pump doesnt take much power to drive and for the rack you are supposed to loop the hoses.
but I bet you could pull a hose from the junkyard and it would cost you $5 or so.
WI has to have a shit ton of rusty legacies in the yards right?

I'm not sure if there are many rusty legacys in junkyards in WI. I don't think there is an import junkyard anywhere within 100 miles of me.

Janesville had a couple last I looked. There's a place in Milwaukee or two.

Would you happen to know the names or phone numbers of any of the places that may have Legacys?
