Subject:      Power Steering lines replacement (was: Got Shifter Bushings?)
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

Sorry I hijacked the thread with an off-hand comment about trying to prioritize my shifter repair with another seemingly innocuous power steering fluid leak. Thanks for the link, replacing those lines looks a project that I might want to do this summer. After I do the gas tank reseal... not to hijack again.

Cheers, Peter
