i had to remove mine for my front mount ive never herd of it causing any kind of failure from people doing this before

It shouldn't hurt. I removed mine about 4 years ago to make room for the FMIC. Loop the soft rubber PS line back to the reservoir and you should be fine. Later, you can add an aftermarket fin cooler for a few bucks. Just monitor your fluid levels and color.

never heard anything about color . can I get some more info on that

 

[MrBoxx]

Power steering fluid is normally reddish/pink. If it starts to get brown, then it's getting old/burnt. And you'll want to change it out if it starts to get brown like that.

If you do any sort of "spirited" driving AT ALL your power steering fluid will get pretty hot. If you don't believe me, just do some canyon driving and try to touch that factory cooler loop.

Overheated power steering fluid puts unnecessary stress on your steering components, which are MUCH more expensive and troublesome to fix.

An aftermarket tube-and-fin power steering cooler is only like $30. Since you have to go through the hassles of removing the factory loop, why not just do it right and replace it with a cooler while you already took out the bumper and stuff?
