Pressure in steering pump
I also posted this in the C4 section. I just replaced the steering rack and before I connect the hoses I was wondering the absolute maximum pressure in the system. Stock hoses are a pain to connect and was thinking about making custom hoses. This car is raced in NASA ST2.
Thanks for any and all information.
