Does anyone know the thread and pitch size of the return line on a 03-06 steering box?

Hey,

I've been trying to figure out the thread size and pitch on the return line for my power steering box, I can't seem to find the information anywhere online. If anyone knows it that would be a huge help!

Thanks
Grant

They are typically 16mm but it would help to know what you are trying to do?
 
-6 on the cooler side

Depending on how much body lift you have, then it is generally easier to use an Edelmann 39106 with push on 3/8" rubber line. If you run a 16mm x 1.5 to -6 male metric o-ring adapter in there, it is difficult to get a bent tube -6 90 stuck on top of that and clear the bottom of the grill. The Edelmann part is far easier and will work without a body lift.

Don't run any drilled fittings, they all need to be bent tube style.
