Re: IML: '55-56 Power Steering Pump Filter....

Hi Ken -

You have just solved the mystery of what the "half the size of a soda can" thing in the low pressure side of the power steering/hydro-boost line on my '75 Mark IV "Lipstick" is.  Neither I nor the 12 year old service manager at the Lincoln Dealership I used to go to could figure out what the heck it was.

Let's see (Imperial content, Imperial content).....  Does anyone know why Imperial (or Lincoln for that matter, my '79 didn't have one) discontinued using a P/S filter?  It seems a logical thing to have and I'm sure that neither my '60 nor '62 Imperial have one.

I have an in-line filter on the low pressure side coming back into the p/s pump.  It was recommended when I had the steering gearbox rebuilt.  It?s there mostly to catch any debris from the rebuild before it can clog anything in the pump.  It?s about half the size of a soda can and, with a little extra hose, I tucked it neatly under the battery tray where it can?t be seen.

 

I?m not familiar with the pump on the 55 & 56 model but the filter I saw on the Napa web site definitely won?t fit on my 67 or 68, so I?m assuming it won?t fit the 69 either. (I could be wrong though, it has happened before J)

Is it worth adding one of these to a 69?

What is the bennefit or risks?
