strutmaster conversion '05 s600
Strutmaster conversion. I want to eliminate the hoses which are my continuing problems. Cowboyt had the same issue and made a bypass to keep the pump working. How is this done? He says to go from the outlet of the pump (high pressure?), which has a double bango, and go back to the fluid inlet side of the pump. Am I correct that the outlet of the pump is high pressure and the inlet is low pressure. How does that work. There are two bango fittings, is one steering and the other suspension?. aside from changing to a non ABC steering pump how can I eliminate all the hoses

No need to keep the ABC pump after the conversion, as it will fail soon afterwards. Here is a useful thread about converting the power steering pump on a V12:

Also, nobody has tried these Ceika coilovers on the forums yet, but they seem to be much better than any other w220 coilover kit (strutmasters, yellowspeed) with the amount of adjustablility and comfort options the others don't have such as rubber top strut mounts and dual springs. So you can take a risk and see how they are, I was planning on getting these whenever I start my conversion too.

This thread is about converting ABC suspension to standard coil-over suspension. You will almost certainly get more and better responses if you start a new thread with a title like "Need Help With Power Steering Pump Noise"
You also need to give a lot more information, such as model year, ABC or Airmatic, what makes you think that the noise is coming from the pump, has the system lost the fluid, etc., etc.
