So I didn't want to JB weld the fitting so I improvised.
I ended up looping B and D together and A and C together.
I used either vacuum lines from the intake mani, or the power steering lines itself. To be honest, they were lines that were in a box from all the "unnecessary" parts I didn't find useful. B and D had the same diameter so that was pretty easy to find a hose for. A and C was a little more challenging. But I managed to find one that came off my intake manifold. A and C are different diameters (C being largest, A 2nd largest, and B/D the same size and the smallest). A line from the intake mani was perfect for it. I swapped my IM to a skunk 2 so I had extra lines but the junkyard should be very beneficial to you all.
Yes I zip-tied it. Only because I did not want it to hit my exhaust and possibly melt the hose. I can't take the risk and it's pretty safe since I know the sway bar doesn't rotate with the axles.
I also tried steering on jackstands left to right. It held very well. Even did quick turns. I hope any of you who follow my DIY use the screw on vacuum clamps. I ended up using on all 4, even though the pic only shows it on 2. It seals much tighter than OEM's. And, I heard the fluids move when I steered which in my book is what I want to achieve. Studying the diagram, the ps diagram is a circle (circulation). So as long as I keep the fluids in, I can't go wrong.
Fluids stay in + fluids move = A success.
Hope this helps any confusion.
