| 198000 mi US $126 |
Replaced Power Steering Cooler and front bumper cover clips. plus two bolts that broke upon removal. Upon reassembling, I found that a part of the bumper cover that was lying loose and appeared to have slid apart was actually broken. It is a part that clips inside the bumper cover and is held by 5 tabs. All tabs were completely separated from the bumper. I am using a plastic glue compound and hoping it allows me to re-install the cover after drive testing the car tomorrow. I have never seen clamps on the power steering hoses such as these. I could not hammer them back into place after replacing the cooler. They refused to slide over top of the line. I could have taken the line back off, put the clamps on the line, then try to slide them on that way. But it was just too hard and the space was too limited for me. So I just used a standard clamp and can only hope it holds under the pressure of the system. |
