power steering pump relocation

[liam_page]

hi, ive got some 45mm lowering springs and i was going to fit them myself as im quite confident with doing it, but does the power steering pipe need to be relocated, is this something i could do myself? and what happens if you dont relocate it?
any help would be great, thanks.

you dont need to relocate the pipe just bend it up out the way.

What happens if you dont move it? It rubs through the pipe and you pump out a few litres of steering fluid all over the place so you loose your power assisted steering but also chance burning out the pump unless you cut the power to it while there is no fluid in the system

Not something I'm aware of! But I'm still learning about Saxo's, sorry dood.
