Question power steering cooler

anyone running a power steering cooler? got any comments on how well they work?

reason i ask because at my last skid pad event i noticed my power steering was empty by the end of the day. wanted to see if a power steering cooler will take care of the problem.

they are cheap anywhere... it just has to be some fluid cooler like power steering, oil or tranny...

im using a tranny cooler on mine. bought it for 35 dollars.

your car has a power steering cooler on it already... its a bunch of bent lines in the fender/bumper area on the driver side

I installed mines about 2 years ago, never had any problems with it. I opted to do it because the bent lines were in the way of my intercooler piping's
