Today was fixing rust on the front of my old Puma and faced this problem. The steering pipes on the front of the car cracked due to heavy rust. Offcourse all the servo oil came out of there so my power steering is gone now.
Now i have a spare puma for parts but i noticed the power steering lines on the front are not the same. On the spare Puma i got they return in one way, as show here:
Anyone else knows about this difference? Are the ones i need the same as on the Fiesta?
So it looks like i need one of these Ford part nr. 1044829
Can I have my engine running with the steering pump running dry now or will i do damage to it?
Another problem is, the rust is even further on the 2nd part of the hose too. When comparing to the pictures of the breaking puma lines to mine, you see mine make an angle, run next to the gearbox and then go above the subrame. Anyone know where they end up and if it is easy to replace/repair?
Lots of questions, i hope i can find the right parts from a scrapyard from a fiesta maybe? 110 pounds for some steering pipes is too much for me.. Or maybe i can make my own in copper?
