high rpm power-steering

[kleann]

Anyone else have issues of blowing out power-steering fluid out of the reservoir when turning high rpm? 4500-6000 rpm. What can I do to stop this? This is on a 1999 model dodge.

It seems like there is a valving change that has to happen.

You could cut a piece of hose and clamp to the neck of the reservoir. I can't remember if guys cut the neck off a junker for the cap to mount to or what, but you are increasing capacity to the point it shouldn't overflow.

1.5 inch radiator hose works for me, that's what I'm using on my trail rig since it has a single ended ram for hydro assist steering...
