aws delete write up

Isiah,
It's been a while, and I have to admit, I did NOT watch that video, but if I recall correctly, part of the deletion process is to use a hose to tie the feed back into the return, thereby elimination fluid flow to the rear rack.

Bob.

^^ yes, right at the reservoir i thought. so, it should be reasonable to just connect the two ports together.

any other takers?

is it the two ports on the back of the power steering reservoir that need to be capped? is that all i need to do to keep the fluid from the rear wheel steering system? is that safe as can be?

thanks

Here is 3SX's guide for using their kit:
https://www.3sx.com/install-3sx-aws-...limination-kit

It discusses how to address plugging the lines coming off the rack and pinion and how to deal with the reservoir. Take a look and let us know if you have additional questions.

No, there are four lines going to the back of the car for the aws system. 2 lines come off the reservoir (low pressure) and 2 lines come off the rack and pinion (high pressure). You have to plug the high pressure lines and either loop back the reservoir lines or swap in a FWD reservoir.

^^ thank you

some of 3sx's pictures aren't doing it for me. really both of the pictures that i need to understand are not clear to me. i'll climb under the car and try to get some clarity.

for the emergency brake:

according to the video i need to disconnect the two brake lines under the center console. i did that.

according to the 3sx walk through, i need to disconnect the brake cable line brackets.

question: what/where All do i need to disconnect the e brake?

thank you

ediT: so, for the e brake, it was just the two brackets at the aft of the driveshaft tunnel, and the fitting under the center console.

chris, what did you use to solidify your rear subframe bushings, and what do you think about it after driving the car again?

I welded large washers to the frame and bushing pins. Don't do this to a street car, a solid mounted diff whines constantly while moving. Poly bushings are pushing it honestly, there's no real benefit unless you have a clearance issue like the 3SX sway bar hitting the driveshaft and car underbody and I needed make sure NOTHING moved in addition to beating the fuck out if the car for it to fit. At that point I also decided since I'm this far I was going to space the subframe upwards for suspension geometry fix.
