See what our Experts say about this Derale Power Steering Coolers

• Why Would a Vehicle Need a Power Steering Cooler
  Any time a vehicle is not moving or if there is extra weight in the vehicle or because the vehicle is towing it makes it harder for the power steering components to do their job (because of the extra weight or lack of motion).

• Troubleshooting Power Steering Pump Cavitation When In Cold Weather
  Power steering pump cavitation in cold weather is common when the power steering fluid needs to be flushed and the filter of the pump needs to be cleaned.

• Oil, Transmission and Power Steering Cooler Recommendations for 2003 Acura MDX

• Which Cools Better a 2 or 4 Pass Power Steering Cooler
  The more times the fluid passes through the heat exchanger of the cooler the more it can be cooled.

• Power Steering Cooler Replacement for 1998 Oldsmobile Bravada
  I wouldn't recommend bypassing the power steering cooler, since that could lead to more problems down the line. The Derale # D13213 you were looking at would work for you, but because the Oldsmobile Bravada is a little bit bigger vehicle, I recommend going with the Derale Series 7000 Tube-Fin Power Steering Cooler # D13211 .
