Need a cooler on my power steering. Using hyrualic ram assist steering and getting a little hot...
Anyone done this? Just thinking of wandering into Repco or similar and picking up a small/medium tranny cooler (like a mini-radiator). Repco sell em for $100 for a small one and $120 for a medium jobbie.
Then just throwing it in front of my radiator, hooking the return line (going from the box to the pump) up to the cooler and hey presto...
Any tips or cautionary tails of woe??

I also run hydro assist and I use a cooler from repco that cost under $100 and I think it was a "4x4" one?? Anyway it comes with hoses, clamps and the mounts. I think that one like this is the best way to go - nice and easy
While I was at it I also added a filter. This was mainly to get the fluid quantity up to reduce heat but I also had concerns about any swarf left in the box after drilling and tapping the fittings.
I ended up with a bigger resiviour as well but not at first. My power steer system now holds about 5L of fluid and never looks like getting hot
