Thanks for looking and hoping someone here would be able to help.

So converting to coilovers on an 03 s55. Would like to utilize the oem s500 top mount reservoir, but can't seem to locate the return line from the steering rack. Hoping someone out there can point me in the direction of a diagram/schematic that shows the line run.

Please don't suggest 'just follow it from the rack'. Anybody who suggests that(and have seen a few folks do it) has obviously never been under a 2003-2006 s55.

Already tried searching for this on the site as well as considering a loop back, but nothing specific pops up for the s55. At least have not been able to find anything thus far. All i seem to find is fairly vague blurbs regarding the SL and CL chassis....not the same as the S chassis for ABC system(s).

So ended up figuring it out thanks to the pictures on the thread below. The line that looks like it is going into the bottom of the PS reservoir actually never does, which was the part that had me puzzled. Thankfully the below thread helped sort it out for me so passing this along in the hopes that it may help others make sense of it all for their s55. Thanks to capn shawn for making the time to take pics and upload.
