power steering fluid cooler
Posted: Mon Feb 03, 2020 12:53 pm
My '66 Toro has a little radiator/cooler up in the grille area. It's hard to imagine power steering pump working so hard that it needs cooling, but there it is. My '64 Cutlass has what looks to be the same power steering pump, with no cooler.
My question, couched in the idea that "Toronados were highly engineered" (and I am an engineer) is: Is this cooler really needed?
I am doing a little re-configuring under the hood, including replacing the vacuum headlamp openers with electronic linear actuators (see separate topic), and I am thinking if eliminating the power steering fluid cooler.
Can anyone offer a compelling reason that I should keep that little power steering pump cooler?
