Product Detail
The Chase Bays Power Steering Kit for Right Hand Drive Subaru WRX and STi is a game - changer. It gets rid of common factory problems like power steering leaks, fluid spillover, and overheating. With a better look, long - lasting durability, and a cool stealthy design, it's a top - notch upgrade. This kit is a 100% upgraded replacement for the stock reservoir and hoses, from the reservoir to the pump to the rack. At the heart of this kit is our over - engineered Dual - Baffled Power Steering Reservoir. It's aeration and spillover proof. We use only the best quality parts. The reservoir is made of 6061 aluminum, anodized black with a laser - etched cap, and it bolts in just like the factory Subaru. Our Dual - Baffled Power Steering Reservoir took countless hours of R & D. It's not just a simple fluid container. The smaller fitting on the reservoir is for fluid return from the rack, which can come back at over 100psi. Our special chimney design smoothly restricts the fluid to avoid foaming. And the cap and cap bung are designed to prevent spillover from turbulence or overheating. The hoses and adapters are also high - quality. The high - pressure rack to pump hose is - 6AN stainless steel, Teflon PTFE lined, and black PVC coated to resist chaffing. The other hoses are abrasion - resistant, black nylon sheathed, and SS reinforced, with high - end black aluminum AN fittings. For those using the 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 it sooner.
Using the Chase Bays Power Steering Kit is straightforward. First, you need to remove the stock power steering reservoir and hoses from your Right Hand Drive Subaru WRX or STI (2002 - 2007). Then, install the new reservoir using the provided bracket, which fits just like the factory Subaru. Connect the high - pressure rack to pump hose, making sure it's routed properly to avoid chaffing. Attach the other hoses as well, and ensure all fittings are tightened securely. If you've opted for the Setrab power steering oil cooler, install it following the included instructions. When it comes to maintenance, check the fluid level in the reservoir regularly. Look for any signs of leaks around the hoses and fittings. If you notice any foaming in the reservoir, it might be a sign that the internal baffles are not working as expected, and you should contact us. Also, keep an eye on the condition of the hoses. If they show signs of wear or damage, replace them promptly. Remember, most of our products are built to order, so if you need your item sooner, reach out to us directly.
