New problem

Unfortunately I know the feeling /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif 1947 Had the leaking problem. I bought replacement lines and had a shop fix it.

I could care less about the 4ws... didnt have it on 297 so I dont feel like i'm missing out on much. Just looking to find the location to plug the non pressurized lines.

 

There's a post I've read here about this somewhere(try the search function/v-FAQ) But I think there two lines at the front rack that go to the rear that get plugged, and two on the rear rack also. Then the one of the one off the pump itself under the hood. Dont quote me on this though, it's been a while since I read this. Not to mention, Ptiemers disease affects the memory /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Yea I looked on Vfaq it has the upgrade from 3 bolt to 4 bolt but no 4ws delete/block. I have the next 2 days off to figure it out hopefully I'll be able to get it done. I jusr dont want to make the mistake of getting the pressure lines and then messing it all up.

Can anyone shed some more light on this topic?

Where those 2 rubber lines connect to the hard lines attached to the front rack is where you need to cap them off at. You can use this or simply weld the lines shut if you plan on deleting the 4ws.

are those the pressurized lines?

Well i got under her today and i think i found where the problem is and its the actual metal line.


I'm just going to have it towed to Mitsu and have them take care of this. I cant waste my time doing it myself on the ground and miss more work.

Ha looks like mitsu cant do the maintenance on the car because the part does not exist anymore. so it looks like i'm going to be deleting the whole 4WS in its self.

Those lines are not pressurized. They send a fluid pulse to the rear rack. The rear rack receives its pressure via its own diff driven pump.

Rotted lines suck but a little cursing and you will figure out a way to block them off before the leak.

I'm just ripping it all out. I'm gonna put a 4 bolt rear in and call it a day.
