Product Detail
The Chase Bays Power Steering Kit for Subaru WRX and STI models from 2002 - 2007 is a game - changer. It effectively gets rid of common factory power steering problems like leaks, fluid spillover, and overheating. Alongside these improvements, it brings enhanced aesthetics, long - lasting durability, and a stealthy design. This kit completely replaces the stock reservoir and hoses with 100% upgraded A.N. fittings, covering the entire system from the reservoir to the pump and rack. At the heart of this kit is our over - engineered Triple - Baffled Power Steering Reservoir, which is resistant to aeration and spillover. We use only top - quality components. The reservoir is made of 6061 aluminum, anodized black with a laser - etched cap, and it bolts in just like the factory Subaru using our custom bracket design. Our Triple - Baffled Power Steering Reservoir is the result of countless hours of R & D. It's not a simple fluid container. The smaller fitting on it receives fluid return from the rack at pressures up to 120psi. Without proper design, this can cause severe foaming and aeration, as well as spillover under heavy use. But our internal design negates these issues. With on - track testing and computer fluid dynamics, we've managed to reduce 120psi to 12psi in just 2 inches of fluid motion. The cap also has a unique baffle design to prevent fluid from spilling out through the vent. Our hoses and adapters are top - notch. The high - pressure rack to pump hose is - 6AN stainless steel, lined with Teflon PTFE, and coated with black PVC to resist chaffing. The - 6AN rack to reservoir and - 10AN reservoir to pump hoses are abrasion - resistant, with black nylon sheaths and SS reinforcement, and come with high - end black aluminum AN fittings. For those using this kit in tough conditions, we offer an optional genuine Setrab power steering oil cooler (13'x3'x2'). Most Chase Bays products are built to order and take 5 - 7 business days to complete. Contact us directly if you need your item faster.
Using the Chase Bays Power Steering Kit is straightforward. First, remove the old stock reservoir and hoses from your 2002 - 2007 Subaru WRX or STI. Then, install the new reservoir using the provided bracket, which fits just like the factory part. Connect the hoses to the reservoir, pump, and rack according to the markings. When using the kit, keep in mind that if you're in harsh conditions, it's a good idea to consider the optional Setrab power steering oil cooler. As for maintenance, regularly check the fluid level in the reservoir. Make sure there are no signs of leaks around the hoses and fittings. If you notice any issues like strange noises or difficulty steering, stop using the vehicle and check the system. Keep the reservoir and hoses clean to ensure optimal performance. If you need to replace any parts, use only high - quality components similar to what's included in the kit.
