Power Steering Filter

I would like to install an in-line PS filter on my 12 V6.

I was thinking about this one or one of the bigger plastic ones on the market.

I realize the importance of whichever one I choose having a bypass valve built in.

Which hose off of the reservoir is the low pressure hose, and what is the direction of flow?

Thanks

 

If it has a hose clamp on it it's low pressure. Flow is towards the tank/pump.

 

You do realize the reservior has a built-in filter, right? If for some reason you wish to still add an inline filter, put it in the small hose into the reservior, with the direction of flow being toward the reservoir.

 

Thanks

 

If you want to keep it simple and effective, use a Magnafine PS filter. I installed mine in the return line, it sits vertical. I picked up two oem spring type hose clamps. Drained the system, cut the hose and removed a section equal to the filters length. Installed and clamped the filter while on the bench, then installed the entire assembly.

FWIW I flushed the system with Mobil 1 ATF prior to installing the filter setup, once installed I completed the service with fluid until full.

The fluid cost more than the filter.
